Sorry, I think there is a misunderstanding here. My apologies for helping to create one. For the regional meetings, EACH ALS may designate one delegate. This means that not one or two people are coming from the regions, but much larger numbers. As to who chooses to go: each ALS chooses who their delegate is.

hi nick
There is nothing official posted, but how it is working is like this:
At each international meeting, at least one At-Large region is invited to send one delegate per At-Large Structure to a regional meeting at the ICANN Meeting. This is in addition to the members of the ALAC, who are also subsidised to attend each International Meeting.
The region or regions to be invited is based upon where the international meeting is located. So, for San Juan, we have LAC and North America coming, for Lisbon it was Europe and Africa. For Asia it will be just the Asia/Australia/Pacific ALSes who will be attending I believe.
thanks for this.. so, the ALAC members attend all meetings, and then 1 or 2 other folk woulc come along depending on the region of meeting?
and, the process for deciding who goes.. is that rather informal also? or is that a formal ALAC committee procedure?
sorry for so many questions, but the fellowship announcement has encouraged people to think about attending ICANN meetings, but naturally, ALAC is a comfort zone for many of the people we work with
