Implementation Details

On the one hand, the digital copies of the Beginner’s Guides are easily accessible. In collaboration with ICANN Policy Staff, the At-Large Community has developed 3 Beginner’s Guides. They have been prominently featured on the new At-Large website, at the top of the Get Involved page. They have also been featured on icann.org, along with other Beginner’s Guides, which can be easily found via the top navigation, under Get Started. All the guides, except for two, are available in 6 UN languages and Portuguese, Korean, and Japanese. Some of these guides, including the At-Large ones, have been transformed into ICANN Learn online courses, which create another venue for the general public to access those guides. In addition, the Beginner’s Guide for At-Large Structure completed its update recently and its latest digital version will be published shortly. Some of its content has been repurposed for the new At-Large websites and promotion brochures.

On the other hand, due to cost reduction, the number of print copies of the Beginner’s Guides has been significantly reduced. They are reserved for specific regions with limited Internet access.

Next Step

In coordination with ICANN Staff, At-Large will request ICANN to reserve a limited number of print copies of the 3 At-Large Beginner’s Guides and distribute them in regions with limited Internet access.
