ICANN's Silicon Valley Meeting concluded today with a public session held by its Board.  In this session, the Board approved the opening of the public comment period on the ICANN Bylaw amendments proposed as part of the ALAC/At-Large Improvements Project.  The primary goals of these amendments, as established in the Final Report of the ALAC Review Working Group on ALAC Improvements (Final Report; 9 June 2009), are two-fold:

...

• The creation of a project plan, including an accurate budget (to be submitted to the Structural Improvements Committee by its May 2010 meeting);
• The strengthening of the At-Large Working Groups, which will be responsible for much of the work implementing the At-Large Improvements; and
• The allocation of specific implementation tasks to individual Working Groups, committees, and relevant ICANN staff.

Since ICANN’s Meeting in Seoul, a number of milestones have been accomplished as part of the implementation of the At-Large Improvements, including:

• The publication of regional brochures, in the relevant languages, by three of our RALOs; brochures by the remaining two RALOs are in production. These will be used as part of a new education, outreach, and recruitment strategy.
• A review of the information flow between the At-Large ALS-RALO-ALAC structure and individual Internet users has begun.
• The public-comment period on a proposed selection process for the At-Large Board member has closed.
• Draft revisions to the ICANN Bylaws, more clearly defining the At-Large role and contribution, are underway.
