>> support its individual members' informed participation in ICANN efforts that

>> 
>> The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your
>> organization, other ALS, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input
>> on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated.
>> 
>> We would like to offer some initial tools to help your organization keep its
>> members informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN
>> policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest:
>> 
>> - Point of Contact for your Organisation: Please send an email to
>> staff at atlarge.icann.org identifying the names and email addresses of one or
>> two individuals who will be the point of contact for information and
>> correspondence regarding ICANN At-Large. If this changes, please let us
>> know.
>> 
>> - At Large Mailing Lists. There are many At Large email lists, for each
>> region; you can signup for them and manage your subscriptions at:
>> http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo   . The points of contact
>> you identify will automatically be added to your region's list just for
>> accredited ALSes to discuss regional issues and to the mailing list for
>> Staff announcements (only Staff can post messages to that list); you are
>> invited to join others as you wish.
>> 
>> - ALS information.  Information about your organization will be shared with
>> the At-Large community to enable individuals interested in your group's
>> activities to contact you, and to encourage cooperation with other groups
>> interested in ICANN activities in your geographic region. Please complete
>> and email the form at the bottom of this note to staff at atlarge.icann.org .
>> 
>> -  ALAC website. The ALAC website (www.atlarge.icann.org) is a good source
>> for ICANN news and information of interest to individual Internet users.  We
>> encourage you to provide your members with a link.  The ALAC relies on
>> volunteers to translate information into multiple languages. Translations of

>> 
>> -  At-Large Regional Websites. Regional wiki webpages also have been created
