[At-Large Staff]

May we remind those interested in participating in this working group of the
following, sent to the Announcement list on 18th March:

Anyone who wishes to participate in the At-Large new gTLD Working Group on
the IRT Process is welcome to do so - please subscribe to the New GTLD
Mailing list at this link:
http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gtld-wg_atlarge-lists.icann.
org. NOTE: If you have previously sent an email to the staff, or in
community mailing lists, you should still join the mailing list directly as

third-party.

at 
https://st.icann.org/gnso-liaison/index.cgi?at_large_irt_process_working_gro
