[AfrICANN-discuss] At-Large Summit and Structure

[Anne-Rachel Inné]

Dear All,

I would like to remind all that ICANN and the At Large community are
constantly seeking to expand the number of At Large Structures (ALS).
Structures from the African Region Organisation (AfRALO) can be viewed
here: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/applications?filter0=160

You can view the diversity of membership of the different Regional
Organisations on the participants list for Mexico:
http://www.atlarge.icann.org/summit/participants

As you may know, At-Large provides a way for the worldwide individual
Internet user community to engage in all the issues that are a part of
ICANN's work. If you know of a structure that has users who are
concerned about policies and issues on the Internet and who can for
example:

    * Guidance on how internationalised domain names ("local language"
domain names) are to be implemented;
    * How additional new top-level domains (the part of a domain name
after the dot, for example: .info, .name, .museum) are introduced;
    * How to transition from the current Internet addressing system
("IPv4") to the next-generation of Internet addresses ("IPv6") in a
stable and equitable manner.

they should become an ALS. Get more information from the below link or
from the individuals CC'ed above:

Feel free to share this information with organisations that could become ALSes.

best,
ar
