[APAC-Discuss] [ALAC-Internal] Welcome to ICANN At-Large!

Thu Feb 24 17:56:58 UTC 2011

Thank you Olivier.

I too am thrilled to be part of the ICANN At Large community. It will give
our organisation a greater sense of purpose to know that they will be able
to contribute within ICANN's bottom up consultation model.

Regards
Maureen

Dear Maureen,

I am thrilled to welcome you and the Cook Islands Internet Action Group
to the ICANN At-Large community!

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. I realise that the jungle of acronyms, processes and
sub-groups may at first be disconcerting. We have all been through this,
and I gather that you have experienced this first-hand as a fellow in
Cartagena!

If you have any question about any aspect of At-Large, ALAC, and indeed
ICANN too, please do not hesitate to ask. I am looking forward to see
you and your At-Large Structure (ALS) thrive in this environment and
contribute the input of your community in the ICANN bottom-up model.

Warmest regards,

Olivier Crépin-Leblond
ALAC Chair
