3. At-Large Webinar E-Books project - The At-Large Capacity Building Working Group has been holding capacity building and update webinars for a  number of years and these are currently stored with the ICANN Community Website as recordings and transcripts. We have now moved to transforming this information into eBooks so that the same information can be accessed by anyone interested in how ICANN works and to encourage more IT-interested persons to join an At-Large Structure and participate in ICANN decision-making about the internet. Maureen Hilyard from APRALO LT team and Glenn Mcknight from NARALO prepared two e-books, which are available here for download: https://apralo2015.wordpress.com/at-large-webinar-ebooks/. 

   eBook #1: “At-Large Working Groups” which was presented by Heidi Ullrich, Senior Director for At-Large, is the first of this series.  The online version and the pdf version
