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

[Winthrop Yu]

   Thank you all for the warm welcome.  ISOC-PH is honored to be a part of 
ICANN's At-Large community and looks forward to engaging and actively working 
with other community members globally.  Aside from our tech/educ events (often 
in coordination with the PH government agencies and other international 
organizations such as APNIC), ISOC-PH has been engaged in private consultations 
regarding our CyberCrime Law and is a member of the Philippine (ICTO-NTC) 
working group on WCIT, where we hope to continue to make a positive contribution 
to national ICT policy and governance.  We eagerly anticipate learning from and 
sharing with other ALSes and community members.

All the Best,

WYn
the Philippines
