I am just trying to understand how the ALAC structure works.
ALS have a pretty clear mandate to support "individual Internet users' informed participation in ICANN by distributing to individual constituents/members information on relevant ICANN activities and issues, offering Internet-based mechanisms that enable discussions of one or more of these activities and issues among individual constituents/members, and involving individual constituents/members in relevant ICANN policy development, discussions and decisions." and to be organised around individual participation, etc. <http://alac.icann.org/correspondence/structures-app.htm>
Does the current ALAC structure achieve this?
