[technology taskforce] Technology Issue : Ensuring information about ALSes on ICANN At-Large website are consistent (SOLVED)

[Dev Anand Teelucksingh]

 Dear All, just to note that the fixes by ICANN IT was deployed in the
beginning of August 2018
and the fix works. After some further updates from At-Large Staff to enter
the missing information from a few ALSes (some ALSes had no location within
the RALO), the ICANN Stakeholder Tool can now retrieve ALS information
directly from the At-Large website, ensuring that the Stakeholder Tool will
always be up to date.

You can visit the Stakeholder Tool at
https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/ICANN+Stakeholder+Analysis+Tool

Thanks to ICANN IT staff (Corinna Ace, Mark) for implementing the fix and
to Evin from Staff for researching and plugging in the missing At-Large
information.

I've updated the
https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Technology+Issues to
fully document the fix

Dev Anand
