[APAC-Discuss] Welcome to ICANN At-Large! Internet PNG Clique

Tue Jan 17 07:07:10 UTC 2017

Dear Stanley, Bill and Decka,

ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that has
been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS).  The ALAC greatly appreciates
your group's interest in involving individual users in Internet PNG Clique
and ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues.

The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your
organization, other ALSes, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your
input on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated.

It¹s very important to keep the members of your organization informed (about
significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development
efforts) and engaged in activities of interest. Here are a few of the tools
members of At-Large find useful:

The At-Large wiki space is where you can find most of the relevant
information:

The At-Large introductory page
