<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Hello advisors. This is to let you know that, much to my surprise, I have been elected as the North American Regional At-Large Organization's (NARALO) representative to ICANN's At Large Advisory Council. This is
a 2 year position. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">There are currently 23 at large structures (ALS) under the NARALO banner -- 10 Canadian. Each ALS has a representative at NARALO and I am the current rep. for TC. TC was one of the founding members of NARALO and
both Gareth and Darlene were very active in former years, TC is well known and respected in these circles.

<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Here is some information about the role of ALAC in the ICANN structure:<br>
</font></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 15px; border-radius:0px!important; color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:"Droid Sans",Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; orphans:2; text-align:start; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; white-space:normal; widows:2; word-spacing:0px; background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
Representing the At-Large Community, the ALAC is the primary organizational home in ICANN for individual Internet users. Under the ICANN Bylaws, the roles of the ALAC are to:</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:10px; border-radius:0px!important; color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:"Droid Sans",Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; orphans:2; text-align:start; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; white-space:normal; widows:2; word-spacing:0px; background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
<li style="border-radius:0px!important">Consider and provide advice on the activities of ICANN as they relate to the interests of individual Internet users. This includes policies created through SOs, as well as ICANN operations and many other issues for which
community input and advice is appropriate; </li><li style="border-radius:0px!important">Play an important part in ICANN’s accountability mechanisms;
</li><li style="border-radius:0px!important">Coordinate some of ICANN’s outreach and engagement efforts to individual Internet users.
</li></ul>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 15px; border-radius:0px!important; color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:"Droid Sans",Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; orphans:2; text-align:start; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; white-space:normal; widows:2; word-spacing:0px; background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
The range of individual Internet users, whose interests that the ALAC represents, is quite broad. They include registrants (people who hold domain names), consumers, and the billions of average web users and visitors.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 15px; border-radius:0px!important; color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:"Droid Sans",Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; orphans:2; text-align:start; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; white-space:normal; widows:2; word-spacing:0px; background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
While ICANN is a technical organization with a focused mandate, its bottom-up, consensus-driven, multistakeholder model gives the ALAC a unique position to play -- average users that don’t have vested business interests, political interests, or even technical
backgrounds can also have a voice to influence the evolution of the critical logistical infrastructure layer of the Internet. Such position is rare to find in other international organizations in the world.</p>
