For the ALAC  to become equivalent in its influence within ICANN as the GAC, we should further understand why the GAC has its current influence; It’is a Government led constituency with certain power in policy making; It has a financial basis with most government participants covering their own fees to participating to Icann’s meetings. I am not quite sure whether a change in the by-laws would suffice in giving the ALAC the same right of advice. Having said that, I do believe we have come a long way with ALAC now being fully recognized as a major constituency with more and more ALS being created. ALAC has got its legitimacy within ICANN, but I think its real power and influence will come when the user at large is fully contributing to the ICANN process, as a consumer, a registrant and an end user.

ICANN is organized as a non-profit corporation “for charitable and public purposes” under the California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law.

The AoC stated: “Ensuring accountability, transparency and the interests of global Internet users”.

Therefore I don’t see many risk to have often a huge difference between: ”what you believe is best for ICANN as a California corporation with your role as a representative of the members of the At-Large” .

If it’s to happen I will explain the reasons to the At-Large and ALAC.

By the way the Director will not be formally a representative of ALAC (but see the discussion of that in NARALO question N° 18)Candidate has not yet submitted answers.

The question is a tricky one. As per the by-laws of ICANN a Director does not represent a constituency as such. However, seat no15 being a special one for the At large community, I believe there should be a way in which the Director find the good balance between what he thinks is good for ICANN and also what better for the At-Large group.
