<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Hi folks. Those of you
who have joined ICANN's NARALO (North American Regional
At-Large Organization) might be interested in applying for a
small amount of funding to attend this major Internet related
event in Toronto in May (see below). If you have not joined, I
encourage you to do so. NARALO accepts individual members as
well as organizational members. You are expected to have some
interest in what goes on at the international level and attend
one teleconference per month.</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Many of you
are already aware, but the annual RightsCon Summit Series

RightsCon is where the world’s business leaders,
technologists, engineers, investors, activists, human rights
experts, and government representatives come together to
build partnerships, shape global norms, showcase new
technologies, and confront the most challenging issues at
the intersection of human rights and technology.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
