Wellington Convention Centre
Wellington, New Zealand

ICANN's Interim At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) invites all interested individuals to attend At-Large Internet Users workshops, meetings, and forums on Sunday, 26 March through Friday, 31 March, 2006
at the Wellington Convention Centre in Wellington, New Zealand. Featured events include: a forum on how to launch a new top level domain selection process that enhances user and registrant choice worldwide; a workshop to educate and inform users on implementing internationalized domain names (IDNs) so the world's non-English speaking communities can use domain names in their own language; meetings of the Asia-Pacific At-Large user groups; and ICANN's public forum where a range of issues that affect Internet end-users will be discussed. Information on key events of interest to Internet users is included below. The entire ICANN Wellington schedule is posted at < http://icann.org/meetings/wellington/ >.
