[At-Large] Fellowship Application Round for ICANN 47 in Durban, South Africa is Open

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

Dear Janice,

Great, as Always!!! And in addition to all of these fellows having found
a "home" in ICANN, several have actually not only found a home in
At-Large but some have registered their organisation, or an organisation
they were involved with, as an At-Large Structure (ALS). It is partly
thanks to your efforts that I am glad to let you know that At-Large has
reached 151 ALSes. For this, I have to thank you!

Best Wishes,

Olivier
