<br>
ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that ISC<br>
<span class="">has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly<br>
</span>appreciates your group's interest in involving individual users in APRALO<br>
<div><div class="h5">and ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues.<br>
<br>
The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your<br>
organization, other ALSes, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your<br>
input on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
It¹s very important to keep the members of your organization informed (about<br>
significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development<br>
efforts) and engaged in activities of interest. Here are a few of the tools<br>
members of At-Large find useful:<br>
<br>
The At-Large wiki space is where you can find most of the relevant<br>
information:<br>

particular interest to people in each region. These are maintained by the<br>
community. They are:<br>
