Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) • The Public-Private partnership of Internet coordinating/governing body • gTLD / ccTLD managers • IP Address Allocation • ISP • Government • General Internet users ~ Getting CONSENSUS in the distributed system~
Issues around the world • Root server management • gTLD / ccTLD management • Domain name dispute • Internationalized domain name • Mechanism for Internet regulation • ….. Do “YOU” care about these issues?
At-Large Internet Users • Who should represent “users” • How does user understand “issues” • Diversity of language, self-internet, level of regional development, etc • Democracy of the Internet ~The Internet Bottom-Up Spirit~
ICANN At-Large Before 2003 • Membership Mechanism (members.icann.org) Total Activated At Large Members: 76,183 (Date: 10/10/2000): Africa (315), Asia and Pacific(38,246), Europe(23,442), Latin America and the Caribbean(3,548), North America(10,632) • Seats on ICANN Board: 5 (Election held in 2000) • At-Large Study Group (2001~2002) • Prof. C.Y. Liu is one of the member • Part of ICANN 2002~2003 reform project • www.atlargestudy.org
ICANN At-Large After 2003 • Interim At-Large Advisory Committee • 10 appointed by ICANN Board • 5 appointed by ICANN NomCom • Appoints liaisons to ICANN’s Board and policy development groups • Appoints 5 delegates to ICANN’s Nominating Committee, which selects most of ICANN’s Board members and fills other key positions.
At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) • Mission: ALAC is responsible for working with the At-Large community to provide advice on the activities of ICANN as they relate to the interests of individual Internet users.
ALAC – Interim Committee • An Interim ALAC was appointed by ICANN’s Board and Nominating Committee in 2003 to help with At-Large organizing and to provide a user perspective on pending issues: • Africa: Pierre Dandjinou (Benin); Clement Dzidonu (Ghana); and Sunday Folayan (Nigeria) • Asia/Pacific: Izumi Aizu (Japan); Xue Hong (China); and Toshifumi (Tommy) Matsumoto (Japan) • Europe: Vittorio Bertola (Italy); Thomas Roessler (Germany); and Roberto Gaetano (Italy) • Latin America/Caribbean: Erick Iriarte Ahon (Peru); Sebastián J. Ricciardi (Argentina); and Tadao Takahashi (Brazil) • North America: Esther Dyson (U.S.A.); Wendy Seltzer (U.S.A.); and Kenneth Hamma (U.S.A.)
ALAC – At-Large Framework • Underpinning the ALAC will be a network of self-organizing, self-supporting At-Large Structures throughout the world involving individual Internet users at the local or issue level. • Eventually, these At-Large Structures will self-organize into five Regional At-Large Organizations (one in each ICANN region – Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America/Caribbean, and North America).
ALAC – Element of ICANN Reform • ICANN’s Board established the ALAC and authorized its supporting At-Large network as part of ICANN’s 2002 reform process. • On 26 June 2003, the Board approved the ALAC's framework for the formation of local and regional At-Large groups, launching community self-organizing for structured At-Large participation.

ALAC – At-Large Structures (ALS) • Groups throughout the world that deal with individual Internet users' interests are encouraged to register and participate in ICANN by submitting a simple application form (available at http://alac.icann.org). • Groups that meet the minimum requirements /criteria will be designated as "At-Large Structures." • At-Large Structures can be existing organizations or newly formed for this purpose.
Regional At-Large Organizations • When several At-Large Structures have been designated in a region, these groups can work together to establish a Regional At-Large Organization (RALO). • The RALOs will manage outreach and public involvement, serving as the main forum and coordination point in each region for public input to ICANN. • The RALOs will be responsible for appointing a majority of the At-Large Advisory Committee (each RALO appoints 2 members).
Why become an At-Large Structure? • By being designated an At-Large Structure, groups have: • A recognized role in forming the policies that affect how individuals' use the Internet; • Quick and easy access to first-hand information on what's happening in ICANN/why it matters to end-users; • Opportunities to provide their members education on ICANN's work and Internet developments; • An opportunity to participate in building their region's At-Large organization (RALO), and opportunities to network with other groups in their country/region;
Why become an At-Large Structure? • (continued) At-Large Structures have: • Representation in ICANN at the regional and international level, • Opportunities for their members to serve on important regional and international decision-making bodies in ICANN; • Access to free web hosting and other Internet-based mechanisms to support their group's work; • Opportunities for funding to support select activities (ALAC is applying for grant funding).
What type of groups can be ALS? • Any group that supports individuals' ability to share their views on ICANN issues, and meets the few simple criteria listed on the ALAC's website, can apply to be an At-Large Structure • Types of groups that have expressed interest in being designated an ALS include: • Professional societies (e.g. engineers, attorneys, etc.) • Academic and research organizations • Community networking groups • Consumer advocacy groups • Internet Society chapters • Computer user organizations • Internet civil society groups
At-Large Structure Applications 8 At-Large Structure approved applications to date: • Africa • Sudan Internet Society • University of Ghana • Anais.AC • Asia/Pacific • Arab Knowledge Management Society (AKMS) • Europe • Förderverein Informationstechnik und Gesellschaft (FITUG) e.V • ISOC Italy • ISOC Luxemburg • Latin America/Carribean Islands • Alf-Redi (13 October 2003)
