Comment:   (the comment window did not load, but the edit function worked) 

Any communication, meant for a wider global audience about ICANN At-Large could begin with the 'context' for the very existence of At-Large. That is to say, it could begin with an easily worded, non-technically described write up about the Internet history, its eco-system, names and numbers, the role of ICANN as also with a short narrative about Internet Governance, the multi-stakeholder model of Internet Governance and ICANN - all explained and narrated for the common man.  Then ICANN At Large could be briefly explained with information about how At Large structures are formed, the worldwide presence of At-Large through AT Large Structures, the work being done, the challenges ahead. It is in this context that the ATLAS meeting in London could be described and its goals explained.  The goals of ATLAS could also be listed as broader goals of ensuring good internet governance and that of the focused goal of providing end-user perspectives to ICANN and participating as a stakeholder.
