Engaging in the ICANN At-Large Face to Face Meetings
ICANN holds three face to face meetings a year. These meetings are rotated among the 5 different regions of the world (Africa, Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Carribean and North America). More about the meetings can be found here. The At Large community participates actively in these meetings by holding Policy development sessions, outreach and engagement activities as well as issuing communiques and statements on issues affecting the end user. Most of these sessions are recorded and transcribed to all for later reference by the community. Nearly all the sessions offer remote participation through Adobe Connect and Adigo. Participants can join meetings via video channels (Adobe Connect) and via audio channels (Adigo) and participate on equal footing with physical attendees. The face to face meeting features Interpretation in multiple languages for many of the sessions.
For individuals who wish to attend these meetings in person but require financial assistance , funding opportunities are available through programmes such as;
