Dear All, APRALO Policy Forum Webinar: “Participating in ICANN Public Comment Proceedings” is scheduled on Thursday, 22 January 2026 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes. The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) participates in ICANN policy-making – including on governance issues – predominantly by engaging At-Large community members in a consensus-building process to establish positions addressing individual end-user interests that need to be communicated by the ALAC. The ALAC’s participation in ICANN policy-making is not limited to, but typically happens through submitting, to a Public Comment Proceeding, an ALAC Statement that is developed through a bottom-up process. You are invited to participate in the APRALO Policy Forum webinar with Justine Chew on Thursday, 22 January 2026 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes, to gain an understanding of the approach for considering the need for an ALAC statement and the delivery of such statements where a need has been established. This webinar will build on the ‘Informed Consensus<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/SQB6JQ>’ concept discussed during the At-Large Briefings on Informed Consensus: An Approach to At-Large Position Development conducted in early December 2025.
