On 21 July, as requested by the Board in Brussels, the ALAC and ICANN's At-Large staff submitted the ALAC/At-Large Improvements Implementation Project Plan Summary for consideration by the SIC (in its 22 July meeting) and by the Board (in its 5 August meeting). This Summary highlights the most important aspects of the full Project Plan – namely, the Improvements project's adherence to Board guidance, budgetary implications, potential risk factors (and the steps planned to mitigate them), needed bylaw changes, targeted deadlines, and contributions to ICANN's Affirmation of Commitments.
