About At-Large 

At-Large is the name for the community of individual Internet users who participate in the policy development work of ICANN. More than 134 At-Large Structures (ALSes) each representing the views of hundreds and indeed thousands more individual Internet users are active throughout the world. At Large Structures are accredited organisations who are included in the ICANN community and its activities, as way to participate in building the future of the worldwide Domain Name System (DNS) and other unique identifiers which every single user of the Internet relies on with every online visit they make.  These ALSes are organised into 5 Geographically defined  Regional At-Large Organisations (RALOs); for more detailed information on this and these structures please see the Google Map of the RALOs and ALSes at: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/maps/   and it is through this unique and well balanced model that we claim a truly global spread of influence between ICANN and end users and individual domain name registrants 'at-large'.
