    <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>
