Dear At Large staff and ALAC community members,

Thank you for certifying the Armenian Association for the Disabled “PYUNIC” as a new ALS. This is a new step forward for the organization itself. Being as an individual member both in APRALO and EURALO for several years, I hope that now I can bring to this community even more, especially the voices of disabled internet users, for whom just getting online is already a struggle.

I would like to thank Olivier, Cheryl, Wolf, Oksana,
 the staff and many, many people in this community, who helped me during
 past years to become a member of such a wonderful family and and for your continuous support.

I will continue for sure to be an active individual member within EURALO as well, thus you have no other choice, but keep me:)))

Once again, thank you very much and looking forward to new achievements for the internet users community.

Best

    Dear Siranush,

    I am delighted to welcome you and the Armenian Association for the
    Disabled “PYUNIC”  as an At-Large Structure (ALS) having joined the
    At-Large community.

    I know that I have already told you in the past, but as a reminder,
    I hope that you and/or your point of contact will find the time to
    join mailing lists and working groups, both at worldwide level but
    also within your RALO. 

    There are many of them, listed on:

    https://community.icann.org/x/loIi

    May I also refer you to the At-Large community Web site wiki, which
    contains many of our workspaces:

    As well as the At-Large policy development page:

        Dear Siranush: 

        ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is
            pleased to inform you that (174) Armenian Association for
            the Disabled “PYUNIC” has been certified as an At-Large
            Structure (ALS).  The ALAC greatly appreciates your group’s
            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 ALS,
            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 atlarge.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 sign up for them
            and manage your subscriptions at: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo . The points of contact you identify will
            automatically be added to your region’s list just for
            accredited ALSes to discuss regional issues and to the
            mailing list for Staff announcements (only Staff can post
            messages to that list); you are invited to join others as
            you wish.

        - 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 atlarge.icann.org.

        -  ALAC website. The ALAC website (www.atlarge.icann.org) is a good source for ICANN news and
            information of interest to individual Internet users.  We
            encourage you to provide your members with a link.  The ALAC
            relies on volunteers to translate information into multiple
            languages. Translations of documents on the website are
            welcome and should be sent to staff at atlarge.icann.org.

        -  At-Large Regional Websites. Regional wiki
            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.
            These are maintained by the community. They are:

        African Region:                                

        www.afralo.org

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

        European Region:      
        www.euralo.org

        Latin America/Caribbean Region:        
        www.lacralo.org

        North American Region:       
        www.naralo.org

        We have included an ALS Starter Kit that
            includes key information on ALAC and At-Large communication
            tools. We have also included the Beginners Guide to
            Participating in At-Large which explains the organization of
            the At-Large community and how to participate in its
            activities. 

        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
        staff at atlarge.icann.org.

        Sincerely,
