Dear Mwendwa and Barrack,


ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that
(187) Internet Society Kenya Chapter (ISOC Kenya) 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 at atlarge.icann.org> staff at atlarge.icann.org 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 at atlarge.icann.org> staff at atlarge.icann.org.


-  ALAC website. The ALAC website ( <http://www.atlarge.icann.org>
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 at atlarge.icann.org>
staff at atlarge.icann.org.


-  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:

 <http://www.afralo.org> www.afralo.org


Asia/Australia/Pacific Region:

 <http://www.apralo.org> www.apralo.org


European Region:

 <http://www.euralo.org> www.euralo.org


Latin America/Caribbean Region:

 <http://www.lacralo.org> www.lacralo.org


North American Region:

 <http://www.naralo.org> www.naralo.org



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

 <mailto:staff at atlarge.icann.org> staff at atlarge.icann.org.


Sincerely,

The At-Large Advisory Committee
