TO:                CLUSIT

FROM:            ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC)

SUBJECT:     At-Large Structure Certification

ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you on  
behalf of the At-Large community in ICANN that CLUSIT has been  
certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS).  The ALAC greatly  
appreciates your groups’ interest in involving individual users in  
ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues.

The purpose of ALS certification is to recognize that your  
organization meets the necessary criteria to involve individual  
Internet users at the local or issue level in ICANN activities, and  
that your organization will support its individual members' informed  
participation in ICANN efforts that affect end-users.

The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between  
your organization, other ALSes, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general),  
and your input on how we can make this a success would be greatly  
appreciated.

We would like to offer some initial tools to help your organization  
keep its members informed (about significant news from ICANN and  
information on ICANN policy-development efforts) and engaged in  
activities of interest:

-       Point of Contact for your Organisation: Please send an email  
to staff at alac.icann.org identifying the names and email addresses of  
one or two individuals who will be the point of contact for  
information and correspondence regarding ICANN At-Large. If this  
changes, please let us know.

-       At Large Mailing Lists. There are many At Large email lists,  
for each region; you can signup for them and manage your subscriptions  
at: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo The points of  
contacts you identify will automatically be added to:

·      Your region’s discussion list;

·      The worldwide At-Large discussion list.

You are of course invited to join others as you wish (excepting those  
ending –Staff).

-      ALS information.  Information about your organization will be  
shared with the At-Large community to enable individuals interested in  
your group's activities to contact you, and to encourage cooperation  
with other groups interested in ICANN activities in your geographic  
region. Please complete and email the form at the bottom of this note  
to staff at alac.icann.org.

-      At-Large related websites: There are a few websites you should  
be aware of:

·      The ‘official’ ICANN website for the At-Large community is at http://www.alac.icann.org 
. This site will be replaced with a much more up-to-date and modern  
site but in the meantime it is a good source of information and has  
links to all the At-Large related URLs and links to other parts of  
icann.org.

·      The ALAC Working Wiki: Much of the administrative and policy  
development coordination work is made available and developed on the  
community's wikis. Meeting agendas, recordings of meetings, minutes,  
and all kinds of important documents for the whole community are to be  
found to help you get 'up to speed' with the state of development of  
community positions on issues you care about. Feel free to join in;  
the place to start is at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?at_large_policy_working_groups 
.

·      At-Large Regional Websites.   Regional webpages also have been  
created to distribute information (including in local languages) on  
activities, events and issues of particular interest to people in each  
region. They are:

African Region:                                                 http://www.afralo.org/

Asia/Australia/Pacific Region:                       http://www.apralo.org/

European Region:                                           http://www.euralo.org/

Latin America/Caribbean Region:               http://www.lacralo.org/

North American Region:                                http://www.naralo.org/

-      Regional WiKi: Each At Large Region has a Wiki that allows the  
region to collaborate and all ALSes are welcome to have edit  
privileges to help provide information on their activities. These  
wikis create the regional websites shown above.  The staff will create  
accounts on the EURALO site for your designated contacts once you've  
sent them that information.

We look forward to working with you and your organization's members to  
advance individual Internet users' interests within ICANN.  If you  
have any questions, or need additional information, please contact us  
at alac at atlarge-lists.icann.org
