Dear Amer and Hilmi,<br>
<br>
ICANN's At-Large Advisory<br>
Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that Yemeni<br>
Organization for Development and Exchange Technology has<br>
been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC<br>
greatly appreciates<br>
your group's interest in involving individual users<br>
in APRALO and ICANN and looks forward to working with you<br>
and your colleagues.<br>
<br>
The ALAC is eager to promote a<br>
productive working relationship between your organization,<br>
other ALSes, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your<br>
input on how we can make this a success would be greatly<br>
appreciated.<br>
<br>
It’s very important to keep the<br>
members of your organization informed (about significant<br>
news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development<br>
efforts) and engaged in activities of interest. Here are<br>
a few of the tools members of At-Large find<br>
useful:<br>
<br>
The At-Large wiki space is where<br>
you can find most of the relevant information:<br>
<br>
The At-Large<br>
introductory page help you navigate through the wiki<br>
contents. This is where you can find the latest<br>
announcements,<br>
and subscribe to the At-Large<br>
Google calendar at the bottom of the page. This will<br>
ensure you never miss a meeting!<br>
<br>
From any chosen page in the<br>
At-Large wiki, you can find your bearings easily by<br>
navigating via the purple box at the top left hand corner of<br>
the page. It is very convenient to be able to consult the<br>
latest At-Large<br>
Policy Development Activity, find out more about<br>
the Regional<br>
At-Large Organizations (RALOs), and about At-Large<br>
Working Groups. For the most up to date information<br>
about At-Large meetings during ICANN Public meetings, it is<br>
worth bookmarking this<br>
wiki page!<br>
<br>
Regional wiki<br>
webpages also<br>
have been created to distribute information (including in<br>
local languages) on activities, events and issues of<br>
particular interest to<br>
people in each region. These are maintained by the<br>
community. They are:<br>
<br>
African Region: <a href="http://www.afralo.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.afralo.org</a><br>
<br>
Asia/Australia/Pacific<br>
Region: <a href="http://www.apralo.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.apralo.org</a><br>
<br>
European Region: <a href="http://www.euralo.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.euralo.org</a> <br>
<br>
Latin America/Caribbean<br>
Region: <a href="http://www.lacralo.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.lacralo.<wbr>org</a><br>
<br>
North American<br>
Region: <a href="http://www.naralo.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.naralo.org</a> <br>
<br>
<br>
At-Large Mailing<br>
Lists. There are<br>
many At-Large email lists, for each region, you can sign up<br>
to them and manage your subscriptions at:<br>
<a href="http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://atlarge-lists.icann.<wbr>org/mailman/listinfo</a>.<br>
The primary and secondary points of contact you have<br>
identified in the application form will automatically<br>
be added to your region's list just for accredited<br>
ALSes to discuss regional issues and to the mailing list for<br>
Staff announcements (only Staff can post messages to that<br>
list); you are invited to join others as you<br>
wish.<br>
<br>
ALAC website. The ALAC website is<br>
a good source for ICANN news and information of interest to<br>
individual Internet users. We<br>
encourage you to provide your members with a link. The<br>
ALAC relies on volunteers to translate information into<br>
multiple languages. Translations of documents on the website<br>
are welcome and should be sent to At-Large<br>
staff. <br>
<br>
ICANN website: The ICANN website is where<br>
all announcements are<br>
posted, and where<br>
you can find practical information about ICANN Public<br>
meetings.<br>
<br>
Skype chat: At-Large community members and<br>
staff use Skype group chats extensively. A group chat exists<br>
for most Working Groups and RALOs. So please don¹t hesitate<br>
to send At-Large Staff your Skype ID and we’ll gladly add<br>
you to the relevant chats. Please click here if you don¹t<br>
have a Skype account. It’s free and staff are available to<br>
help if you run into any trouble.<br>
<br>
Facebook: The At-Large community has its<br>
own Facebook<br>
page. It’s useful to keep up with announcements<br>
and helpful information.<br>
<br>
Twitter: Members of At-Large tweet<br>
extensively and are particularly active during ICANN Public<br>
meetings. Follow At-Large<br>
on Twitter!<br>
<br>
We will forward the At-Large<br>
Beginners’ guide shortly, as it is in the process of being<br>
updated. In the meantime, please refer to the most recent<br>
APRALO<br>
Orientation Call. You may also like to refer to the<br>
APRALO wiki<br>
space for further engagement opportunities. <br>
<br>
<br>
We look forward to working with<br>
you and your organization's members to advance<br>
individual Internet users' interests within ICANN. If<br>
you have any questions, or need additional information,<br>
please contact<br>
us at <a href="mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org">staff@atlarge.icann.org</a>.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
The At-Large Advisory<br>
Committee<br>
