    Submit to the Board the following revision to ICANN Bylaws XI.2.4.a, drafted in collaboration with Legal: 
    The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is the primary organizational home within ICANN for individual Internet users. The role of the ALAC shall be to consider and provide advice on the activities of ICANN, insofar as they relate to the interests of the individual Internet users.  This includes policies created through ICANN’s Supporting Organizations, as well as the many other issues for which community input and advice is appropriate. The ALAC, which plays an important role in ICANN’s accountability mechanisms, also coordinates some of ICANN's outreach to individual Internet users.

    Form a Working Group (WG) to conduct a complete review of the ALAC’s Rules of Procedure.

    This review should include consideration of the role, selection process and term length of the ALAC Chair and Vice Chairs.  (Any change of the term length of the ALAC Chair, as suggest by recommendation task 1.4, would require a change to the ALAC’s Rules of Proceure.)

Completed

Request that selected At-Large members be funded to attend non-ICANN meetings (e.g., the IGF, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), etc.).

The ALAC made this request for FY11, but it was not approved. 

This request is supported by the fact that At-Large should constitute an essential part of ICANN's global outreach process.

4

4.3, 4.3.1, 4.3.1.1, 4.3.2, 4.6

In progress

Request that the ALAC be invited and funded to participate in all outreach programs launched by ICANN (including the New gTLD Program outreach road show). 

In accepting such invitations, the ALAC should be given the option to send At-Large members as representatives who are located within the region of the specific outreach event.

This request is supported by the fact that At-Large should constitute an essential part of ICANN's global outreach process.

Invite potential At-Large members from countries currently without any ALS to a series of outreach teleconferences aimed at reaching the goal of having at least one ALS in every country.

In progress

Continue collaborating with ICANN Communications on Beginner’s Guides devoted to topics relevant to At-Large.

The goal should be to produce one Guide for each ICANN Public Meeting. 

This Beginner’s Guide series was initiated by At-Large.  In close collaboration with ICANN Communications, At-Large has already co-produced a Beginner’s Guide to Domain Names and Beginner’s Guide to Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses.  Two more are currently in the pipeline.

4.3, 4.3.4, 4.6

In progress

Increase significantly the ALAC’s creation of “inreach” materials aimed at leadership engagement and development throughout At-Large (including brochures, radio programs, podcasts, webinars, and online videos).

For examples of work in progress, see At-Large and RALO Brochures

4

4.5, 4.5.1, 4.6

In progress

Create job descriptions for ALAC members, liaisons and other At-Large leaders that include qualification requirements, responsibilities and objective criteria for performance evaluation.

For work in progress, see Resolution on Position Description for ALAC Members and ALAC Liaisons.

4.5, 4.5.1, 4.6

Create and implement a transparent sanctions process for nonperformance of ALAC, RALO and ALS members. 

The relevant metrics and sanctions should be consistent across all RALOs.  The sanctions should be progressive, including the withholding of travel support and ending with the replacement of the member.

4.5, 4.5.2, 4.5.3, 4.5.5, 4.6
