Wellington Convention
Centre
Wellington, New Zealand
ICANN's Interim At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) invites all interested
individuals to attend At-Large Internet Users workshops, meetings, and forums
on Sunday, 26 March through Friday, 31 March, 2006
at the Wellington
Convention Centre in Wellington, New Zealand. Featured events include: a
forum on how to launch a new top level domain selection process that enhances
user and registrant choice worldwide; a workshop to educate and inform users
on implementing internationalized domain names (IDNs) so the world's
non-English speaking communities can use domain names in their own language;
meetings of the Asia-Pacific At-Large user groups; and ICANN's public forum
where a range of issues that affect Internet end-users will be discussed.
Information on key events of interest to Internet users is included below.
