*Draft* Proposed Action Statement for ICANN's Board

Based on an extensive outreach, discussion, research, and
consensus-building campaign the ALSC recommends that, on November 15,
2001, the ICANN Board adopt the following recommendations concerning
At-Large participation and representation.

(1) The Board affirms that individual Internet users have a significant
stake in ICANN's activities and should have the opportunity of fully
participating in ICANN.

(2) While the ALSC's final report remains open for comment and
consideration, the Board acknowledges that the following basic principles
should guide expedited action on At-Large:

(a) Create an At-Large Supporting Organization (ALSO) as a
regionally-based framework for informed participation of any interested
individual and for At-Large involvement in ICANN policy and
decision-making (including mechanisms to foster discussion among
individuals and with ICANN's decision-making bodies);

(b) Focus At-Large membership on an identifiable and vested community (an
ALSO electorate) to provide a practical mechanism for voter registration
and self-funding (e.g. The ALSC recommends that membership be based on
individual domain name holders);

(c) Provide a proportionate role for At-Large members in selecting ICANN's
Board (along with other ICANN constituencies) (e.g. The ALSC recommends 6
At-Large Directors in a 19 member Board).

(3) The Board requests that the ICANN CEO solicit expressions of interest
to determine the degree of interest in creating local and regional ALSO
entities that would support informed participation of interested
individuals and At-Large involvement in ICANN, and report the results to
the Board at the March 2002 ICANN meeting.

(4) The Board authorizes the extension of the ALSC until March 31, 2002 to
work with the Supporting Organizations, other interested parties, and
ICANN staff on proposing detailed plans for an At-Large membership, voter
registration, and a regionally-based, self-supporting ALSO.
