[lac-discuss-en] Welcome to ICANN At-Large!

[ICANN At-Large Staff]

TO:                       Asociación CONEXIÓN al Desarrollo de El Salvador

FROM:                 ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC)

SUBJECT:            At-Large Structure Certification


ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that Asociación CONEXIÓN al Desarrollo de El Salvador 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 signup 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; 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 web pages 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 being very substantially revised in the next couple of
weeks but you should keep the URLs handy and check back regularly. 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. These are maintained by the community and create the
regional websites shown above. This framework is in the final stages of
preparation but if you wish to have a user account, send an email to
staff at atlarge.icann.org

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,


The At-Large Advisory Committee

Estimados miembros del Comité Asesor de Alcance,

Deseándoles éxitos para el año 2010 en nombre de la Asociación CONEXIÓN al Desarrollo de El Salvador, por este medio hago formalmente la solicitud para que consideren a nuestra organización para ser en El Salvador una Estructura de Alcance (ALS). Adjunto a este correo la solicitud completada según el formato establecido y los estatutos jurídicos de constitución de nuestra organización.

Quedo a la espera de lo consideren pertinente, y no omito manifestarles nuestra total disposición y entusiasmo para comprometernos participando según las disposiciones establecidas tanto por la ICANN como por las demás ALS en nuestra región LAC.

Atentamente,
