Topics and Policy Working Groups

At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG)

Co-chaired by Avri Doria and Olivier-Crepin Leblond, the CPWG merges together the At-Large Registration Issues Working Group, At-Large New gTLDs Working Group and At-Large ICANN Evolution Working Group. The focus of CPWG is to drive policy comments and advice within the At-Large community, and create best practices for identifying Internet end user issues within ICANN.

Regional Activities

Global Presence

At-Large Structures (ALSes) and individual members form the basis of our community representing the interests of internet users worldwide. The five Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs) unite our members based on their regions.

Working Groups

The At-Large community operates within three workstreams: Policy, Operations, and Community Engagement. At-Large Working Groups generally operate within one of the three workstreams. Policy Working Groups are dedicated to ICANN policy discussions and advice development activities. Operations Working Groups are focused on issues related to ICANN finance and budget, strategy, and operational initiatives, reviews, internet governance issues, reviewing expressions of interest for various ALAC appointments, and planning for ICANN Public Meetings. Community Engagement review requests for mobilization and develop campaigns that will utilize the global At-Large networks. Almost all of our working groups are open to everyone regardless of membership status in At-Large.
 
ICANN is now fielding enrollments through a centralized application called “ICANN Join”, which allows ICANN Account-holders to observe and participate in various community groups across the ICANN ecosystem. Please refer to these instructions to learn how to create an ICANN Account and gain access to the ICANN Join application. If a group you are interested in is not yet available on the application, please contact staff@atlarge.icann.org.
