        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>
