ALS Applications and Certification Process

Any group (existing or newly formed for this purpose) that supports individuals' ability to share their views on ICANN issues, and that meets the few simple criteria listed on the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) website, can apply to be an At-Large Structure.

Structure for Individual User (At-Large) Involvement

ICANN created Interim At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) few months ago and called for framework of local, regional, global groups to promote structured involvement and informed participation of world’s “At-Large” community.

Steps for At-Large Structure Certification:

ALAC Regional members in charge.

3. ALAC reviews the application and related documentation.

4. ALAC votes on certifying the applicant as an "At-Large Structure."

1. ALAC has “hands-off” approach – accept unless we have serious objections

5. ALAC notifies the applicant about the result
