At-Large Work Methods & Collaboration Tools

 

Mailing Lists

E-mail is the prime communication tool used by the members of the At-Large Community. 

There are a variety of e-mail mailing lists that keep members informed of ICANN and At-Large activities, as well as facilitate members' discussions about policy advice and organizational building matters. Support Staff usually distribute At-Large teleconference, webinar, and face-to-face meeting invitations via mailing lists. 

Most At-Large mailing lists are public, which means that they can be subscribed by anyone, even non At-Large members, and their archives are viewable by the public. Some of them are private, which means they have limitation with regard to subscriber criteria and/or access to archive.

You can subscribe to mailing lists on your own, following the subscription links, or contact staff@atlarge.icann.orgOpens a new window. 

To gain further understanding on how mailing lists are used and who are supposed to subscribe to which lists, you may check the guide here: http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-E-MailGuide-Sept2013Opens a new window.

Working Group Mailing Lists

Every At-Large working group has its own public discussion list for members to communicate with each other and for Staff to distribute calendar invites for meetings, as well as other pertinent information. A few working group lists limit subscribers to At-Large members, but all mailing list archives are publicly viewable. 

Once you have subscribed to a working group mailing list, you are automatically regarded as a member of the working group, unless specific membership crtieria apply.
