Other ICANN stakeholders (GAC, ccNSO, Fellows) in territories without ALSes would also be consulted to find suitable At-Large candidates. <br><br>Once a sufficient number of individuals/groups are identified, attempts would be made to contact such individuals to invite them on a series of conference calls introducing them to DNS basics, ICANN and At-Large."<br><br><br></div><div>Kind Regards,<br><br></div><div>Dev Anand Teelucksingh<br></div><div>Outreach and Engagement SC chair<br></div></div>
