I think the GA/At Large is a 5 minute item, and reasonably clear:

- the GA and the At Large are different in target:
   - the GA recommends things to the Names Council
   - the At Large elects directors to the ICANN board
- the GA and the At Large are organized differently
   - the GA has a chair, a few rules, and a discussion mailing list
   - the At Large has a registration mechanism and a voting mechanism
- any person who wants to can be a member of either, or both

This is more or less "for orientation" - we can't change the relationship,
and we probably wouldn't want to either.
