Purpose

Electronic resource/E-tool, "Welcome Package" is a guide for new and existing members of the At-Large community, which accumulates and gives in a convenient understandable form (texts, infographics, videos, links, names, application forms) complete information on how best to start working in At-Large and take more than 1 role (PDP, organisation, finance & budget, CPWG, reviews, analytics, communications etc).

The amount of work is significant, the next financial year may be devoted to this project, but the result will be used for many years ahead (it will only be necessary to make updates occasionally).

Alignment

The project is fully consistent with the ICANN mission and current strategic plan, because it helps to involve into the At-Large/ICANN activities interested professionals (including technical specialists) from around the world, and this will help:

• strengthening the security of the domain name system and the DNS root server system;
• improving the effectiveness of the ICANN multi-stakeholder management model;
• Addressing geopolitical issues affecting ICANN's mission to provide a single, globally interoperable Internet;

The implementation of the project is clearly related to ongoing political, advisory or technical work: we will help to attract more professional members of the community to work (PDP, organisation, finance & budget, CPWG, reviews, analytics, communications etc), mobilize the existing community, ensuring that people navigate directly first to the knowledge base, then to processes, working groups and mentors who will help get started.

Details of the "Welcome package" multilingual E-tool:

It is a guide book for new community members (Individuals or ALS members), as well as for those who  just have applied for participation. This Guide book will help to get the useful understandable information:

- to understand the place, role and purpose of the At-Large Advisory Committee in the ICANN structure.

- to find the set of required information for learning how to start the interacting and get involved in the work process

- to start to navigate all open web resources of ICANN and At-Large.

- to get to know the key people of the local European ICANN, IG community, to understand the wide spectrum of the community members` expertise  in order to establish the interaction, to ask substantive questions, and to identify the opportunities for mentoring support.

- to follow the ICANN, At-Large, RALOs news on all communication channels

- to find mentors within At-Large/ICANN

- to find exact expertise (At-Large member with needed professional knowlege related ICANN issues, Technical IG or IG)

-  links to forms for applications to all RALOs, Associations of individuals.

- to use as excellent open knowledge base - there are links to Capacity Building webinars, online courses, videos, infographics and other learning resources offered here.

(Apparently it might be an accessible e-tool hosted on additional external resource - landing page). If the question arises - are we duplicating the At-Large website? no. We are creating a separate usability tool that will be easy to use and understand for any beginner.
