Dear Maria and Victor,

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.

It's very important to keep the members of your organization informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest. Here are a few of the tools members of At-Large find useful:

The At-Large wiki space is where you can find most of the relevant information:

>From any chosen page in the At-Large wiki, you can find your bearings easily by navigating via the purple box at the top left hand corner of the page. It is very convenient to consult the latest At-Large Policy Development Activity, find out more about the Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs), and about All-Large Working Groups. For the most up to date information about At-Large meetings during ICANN Public meetings, it is worth bookmarkingthis wiki page!
