<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">I would certainly echo
Suzannah's point. Here in Ottawa we are also trying to build our
community on the ground. It is happening but slowly -- one
person/group at a time. One just has to keep at it. But the
ability to broaden our reach with technology is crucial. We
don't have the funds to do a traveling road show. Not everyone
is an ISOC chapter -- so ICANN needs to make tools like
Livestream available to all groups and individuals in At Large
who are doing outreach. <br>

<p>- And in San Francisco. As an ALS (San Francisco Bay Area ISOC
Chapter) we keep our members informed through the Readouts and
through updates about key ICANN issues on our website/in the
Chapter newsletters. <br>
</p>
<p>However getting our members to actually participate is a tough
call, mainly because it's quite hard to 'sell' At-Large and even
harder for those with little background knowledge of ICANN to
get up to speed quickly enough to be able to participate
effectively. <br>
