Re: "Comments on the proposed criteria and accreditiation process for At Large structures," from Jeanette Hofmann

["ALAC" <alac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your comments.

Regarding your objection to requiring individuals to found or join an
organization in order to participate in At-Large, and your doubts about the
5 regions model:

As previously noted (in the ALAC's response to YJ Park's "[Comments] ALS and
RALO"), the ALAC proposal complies with the bylaws and uses organizations to
enable individuals to be involved at the local/issue/regional level. The
proposal also allows for RALOs to include individuals directly and to
propose other ways individuals could participate.  Regarding basing the
At-Large infrastructure on 5 regions, this is required by the bylaws and is
ICANN’s basic approach to diversity. We will note this issue as something to
examine during review of the At-Large Structures and Regional At-Large
Organizations.

We look forward to hearing from you again.

The Interim At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC)
