13. At-Large Community Expands to 138 At-Large Structures At a Glance

*The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) recently certified two
organizations as At-Large Structures (ALSes): Together against Cybercrime
(TaC) and the Internet Society Costa Rica Chapter (ISOC – Costa Rica).
These two new ALSes expand the regional diversity of the At-Large
community, which represents thousands of individual Internet end-users.
With the addition of these two new organizations, the number of accredited
ALSes now totals 138.*
Recent Developments

The ALAC has certified Together against Cybercrime and the Internet Society
Costa Rica Chapter as ALSes. The certification process included due
diligence carried out by ICANN staff and regional advice provided by the
European Regional At-Large Organization (EURALO) and the Latin American and
Caribbean Islands Regional At-Large Organization (LACRALO).

Additional information on the new At-Large Structures:

Together against Cybercrime (*Ensemble contre la Cybercriminalité*) is
located in Strasbourg, France. The mission of TaC includes informing
Internet end-users of the dangers of cybercrime, providing support to
end-users for the safe and secure use of new technologies, and serving as a
source of information on cybercrime. This organization will be an ALS
within EURALO.

The Internet Society Costa Rica Chapter (ISOC – Costa Rica) is located in
Heredia, Costa Rica. The organization's members are drawn from various
sectors including government, academic and private. Areas of interest
include Internet governance, IPv6, and DNSSEC. This organization will be an
ALS within LACRALO.
Background

One of the strengths of the At-Large community is that it incorporates the
views of a set of globally diverse, Internet end-user organizations, or
ALSes, organized within five RALOs. The views of these grassroots
organizations are collected through an internal, bottom-up,
consensus-driven policy development process and find representation in the
official documents of the ALAC.
