In my (biased) opinion, the At Large is beyond our control, and it is 
impossible for us to predict what the At Large is going to be.

I think most GA members will be At Large members (they want to be heard 
there too), but that the opposite is unlikely, if only because the GA does 
not have the wish or the means to have membership drives.

An At-Large member is expected to vote for representatives who choose 
candidates to the ICANN board once a year or so. A GA member is (I think) 
expected to take a position on various issues brought to a GA vote - 
probably on the order of magnitude of once a month or so.

My guess.
