Dear Lia,
ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that (202) Instituto
Panameño de Derecho y Nuevas Tecnologías been certified as an At-Large
Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly appreciates your group's interest in involving
individual users in ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues.
The purpose of ALS certification is to recognize that your organization meets
the necessary criteria to involve individual Internet users at the local or
issue level in ICANN activities, and that your organization will support its
individual members' informed participation in ICANN efforts that affect
end-users.
The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your
organization, other ALS, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input on
how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated.
We would like to offer some initial tools to help your organization keep its
members informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN
policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest:
- Point of Contact for your Organisation: Please send an email to
<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%3cmailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>>
identifying the names and email addresses of one or two individuals who will be the point of
contact for information and correspondence regarding ICANN At-Large. If this changes, please let
us know.
- At Large Mailing Lists. There are many At Large email lists, for each region;
you can sign up for them and manage your subscriptions at:
<http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo>
http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo . The points of contact you
identify will automatically be added to your region's list just for accredited
ALSes to discuss regional issues and to the mailing list for Staff
announcements (only Staff can post messages to that list); you are invited to
join others as you wish.
- ALS information. Information about your organization will be shared with the At-Large
community to enable individuals interested in your group's activities to contact you, and to
encourage cooperation with other groups interested in ICANN activities in your geographic region.
Please complete and email the form at the bottom of this note to
<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%3cmailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>>.
- ALAC website. The ALAC website ( <http://www.atlarge.icann.org>
www.atlarge.icann.org<http://www.atlarge.icann.org<http://www.atlarge.icann.org%3chttp:/www.atlarge.icann.org>>)
is a good source for ICANN news and information of interest to individual Internet users. We encourage you
to provide your members with a link. The ALAC relies on volunteers to translate information into multiple
languages. Translations of documents on the website are welcome and should be sent to
<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%3cmailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>>.
- At-Large Regional Websites. Regional wiki webpages also have been created to
distribute information (including in local languages) on activities, events and
issues of particular interest to people in each region. These are maintained by
the community. They are:
African Region:

We have included an ALS Starter Kit that includes key information on ALAC and
At-Large communication tools. We have also included the Beginners Guide to
Participating in At-Large which explains the organization of the At-Large
community and how to participate in its activities.
We look forward to working with you and your organization's members to advance
individual Internet users' interests within ICANN. If you have any questions,
or need additional information, please contact us at
