[At-Large] ICANN Seeks Public Comments on Proposed Terms of Reference for Independent Review of the At-Large Advisory Cmt. (and At-Large structures)
Dear members of the At-Large community:
Please be advised that, on 30 March 2006, ICANN posted for public
comments proposed Terms of Reference detailing questions that would
guide the independent review of ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee and
global At-Large structures and processes
<http://icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-30mar07.htm>. The public
comment period will conclude on 29 April 2007. Please send comments to:

ICANN's Board directed staff to post these proposed Terms of Reference
for public comments, and input from the ALAC, RALOs and At-Large
Structure groups is specifically requested. Recognizing that the ALAC
and the global At-Large infrastructure that includes Regional At-Large
Organizations and groups certified as At-Large Structures are
interconnected, the Review will address all of these elements of
At-Large involvement in ICANN.
Review of the ALAC will be conducted in an objective way by an entity or
entities independent of it, under guidance from the Board on the
Review's Terms of Reference. The results of the Review shall be posted
for public review and comment, and shall be considered by the Board.
ICANN's bylaws require that Supporting Organisations, Councils and
Advisory Committees be independently reviewed. As provided in the
Bylaws, consideration by the Board includes the ability to revise the
structure or operation of the ALAC by a two-thirds vote of all members.
The proposed Terms of Reference include several important questions that
the Board feels the Review should address. The proposed list of
questions, however, are not intended to be exhaustive, particularly as
the initial results of the Review may suggest related questions that
should also be answered.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Denise Michel
Vice President, Policy Development
