Exactly! One decision that came out of the At-Large Review is that
all ALSes should accept individual members, and indeed they now do,
and this is growing fast. The other message we are sharing in EURALO
is that we do not only wish involvement from the official ALS
representative, but from any other interested individuals in the ALS
- thus the focus is much more on individuals. Same for the
forthcoming third At-Large Summit: it is the individuals that are
busy in At-Large that will be invited to apply to attend - whether
they are from an ALS or independent of an ALS.<br>
<br>
The debate about At-Large's short term future is past. This has
taken place during the At-Large Review. Now what we need to do is to
work together to strengthen our community and get more influence in
ICANN, whether in PDPs, CCWG and at Board level - and, dare I say,
by also joining forces with like-minded other sub-communities in
ICANN. Sometimes we might align with some of our friends on some
topics and be on opposite sides of the argument for other topics.
What matters is that our policy processes need to function and
produce tangible outputs that reflect the view of end users out
