Rules are very simple, you must be resident of North America as defined by ICANN, member of the email list and you cannot be member of a formal accredited ALS. It is cheap and that is about it. There are plenty of opportunities.
he members of the unaffiliated individuals, including the representative to the NARALO General Assembly must submit a
Statement of Interest indicating that they meet the following criteria: be subscribed to the NA-Discuss list, be a permanent resident of one of the countries/territories in the North American region as defined by ICANN, not be a member of a certified ALS. The unaffiliated individuals will be responsible for selecting their representative to the General Assembly. Such representative must not be employed or contracted by, or have substantive financial interest in, an ICANN contracted registry or accredited registrar. Selection of a new representative of the unaffiliated individuals will occur whenever a new ALAC member is selected by the General Assembly.The unaffiliated individuals will adopt a verifiable process to ensure that votes cast via their elected representative reflect the views held among their membership.
