<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. <br>

about the role of ALAC in the ICANN structure:<br>

<li style="box-sizing:border-box;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>

an important part in ICANN’s accountability mechanisms;</li>

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>

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>
