See list of tracks: ALAC FY2027 Strategic Priorities & Core Activities [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/space…> endorsed by the ALAC recently. * Primary: SO-1, SG-1.1, S-1.1.2 – Enhancing collaboration among community groups and strengthening individual end-user voice in ICANN policy-making and governance. Related: SO-1, SG-1.1, S-1.1.5 – Increasing and broadening meaningful participation, particularly from underrepresented communities. Related: SO-1, SG-1.2, S-1.2.1 – Reducing complexity and creating incentives for active participation. Brief Description / Brève description / Breve descripción * At-Large has built a strong culture of participation through policy advice, public comments, working groups, outreach and capacity building. But participation alone does not necessarily translate into influence. This session asks a simple but important question: How do we know whether At-Large is making a meaningful difference in ICANN's policy and governance processes? Rather than reviewing activities or participation statistics, the discussion will examine what enables At-Large to influence policy outcomes, where influence is lost, and how success should be understood. Drawing on At-Large's own experience and engaging the Board and other ICANN communities, the session will identify practical ways to strengthen At-Large's contribution to ICANN's multistakeholder model and the pathway from community participation to policy influence. Rationale/Desired Outcomes - Justification/Résultats souhaités / Justificación/Resultados deseados * FY27 places increased emphasis on meaningful participation, stronger collaboration and measurable impact. This session responds directly to those priorities by focusing not on how much At-Large participates, but on how participation translates into policy influence. To support a focused and productive plenary, the proposal adopts a two-stage approach. 1) During ICANN87 Prep Week, At-Large participants will examine two or three representative examples of policy engagement and identify the factors that contributed to—or limited—their influence. These preliminary findings will form the basis of the plenary discussion. 2) The plenary will then invite Board members and representatives from other ICANN communities to test, challenge and refine those findings, helping identify practical ways to strengthen At-Large's effectiveness within ICANN's multistakeholder model. The principal output of the session will be an At-Large Influence Map identifying the key factors that strengthen or limit At-Large's policy influence. Following the session, the organizers will prepare a short report summarizing the discussion, the Influence Map, and a concise set of recommendations to inform implementation of the FY27 Strategic Priorities and future At-Large work on policy engagement and collaboration. How would the outcomes of your session assist in the pursuit of the FY27 ALAC Strategic Priorities ALAC FY27 Strategic Priorities & Core Activities [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/space…> or some other longer term direction for the At-Large? * FY27 emphasizes meaningful participation, stronger collaboration and measurable impact. This proposal focuses on how those objectives can be translated into practice. Rather than simply encouraging greater participation, it asks how participation becomes influence and how that influence can be strengthened and assessed. By learning from At-Large's own experience and testing those lessons with the wider ICANN community, the session will help identify practical ways to improve policy engagement, strengthen collaboration across ICANN, and better demonstrate the value At-Large brings to the multistakeholder model. Which, if any, other community groups do you plan to involve in your session? Please explain your plans for working cooperatively with the group(s), including your contacts, skill sets sought, etc. * The plenary is intended as a cross-community discussion rather than an internal At-Large conversation. Representatives from the ALAC, ICANN Board, GNSO, GAC, and SSAC would be invited to respond to the preliminary findings developed during Prep Week, offering their perspectives on what enables effective collaboration and where At-Large can strengthen its influence. The objective is not for invited participants to deliver presentations, but to engage directly with the findings, challenge assumptions where appropriate, and help identify practical ways to improve collaboration and policy impact. Session Leaders/Facilitators and Panelists/Presenters - Facilitateurs de session et présentateurs - Líderes de sesión/facilitadores y panelistas/presentadores * Jonathan Zuck (ALAC) – At-Large policy and community effectiveness perspective Tripti Sinha – ICANN Board – Strategic and governance perspective Sebastien Ducos (or Philippe Fouquart) – GNSO – Policy development and cross-community collaboration perspective Manal Ismail – GAC – Government and public policy perspective Julie Hammer (or another SSAC representative) – Technical and security perspective The format would prioritize moderated debate and audience participation rather than a sequence of presentations. The session will follow a simple, discussion-driven format. The moderator will briefly present the findings from the Prep Week discussion. Followed by an audience poll. Invited speakers will respond to those findings through moderated discussion rather than formal presentations. This will be followed by an open floor Q/A A final audience poll to identify the priority actions that should guide At-Large's future work. Are you planning on inviting any ICANN Board members/Executives? If so, please list hereafter in order for Staff to work with Board Operations on invitations. * Yes, Tripti Sinha Additional information or comments / The proposal intentionally separates internal reflection from cross-community dialogue. During ICANN87 Prep Week, At-Large participants will review representative policy experiences, discuss what contributed to—or limited—their influence, complete a live poll on the key drivers of influence, and agree on a small set of preliminary findings. The plenary will begin by presenting those findings to the wider ICANN community. An opening poll will compare At-Large's views with those of the broader community, after which Board members and representatives from other Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees will respond through a moderated discussion rather than prepared presentations.

Under which At-Large Priority Activities FY27 work track area does this topic fall? / Dans quel domaine de travail ce sujet relève-t-il? - En qué área de seguimiento de trabajo de las actividades prioritarias de At-Large FY27 se incluye este ema? ... See list of tracks: *ALAC FY2027 Strategic Priorities & Core Activities <https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/1250852899/…> *endorsed by the ALAC recently. * Primary: SO-1, SG-1.1, S-1.1.2 – Enhancing collaboration among community groups and strengthening individual end-user voice in ICANN policy-making and governance. Related: SO-1, SG-1.1, S-1.1.5 – Increasing and broadening meaningful participation, particularly from underrepresented communities. Related: SO-1, SG-1.2, S-1.2.1 – Reducing complexity and creating incentives for active participation. Brief Description / Brève description / Breve descripción * At-Large has built a strong culture of participation through policy advice, public comments, working groups, outreach and capacity building. But participation alone does not necessarily translate into influence. This session asks a simple but important question: How do we know whether At-Large is making a meaningful difference in ICANN's policy and governance processes? Rather than reviewing activities or participation statistics, the discussion will examine what enables At-Large to influence policy outcomes, where influence is lost, and how success should be understood. Drawing on At-Large's own experience and engaging the Board and other ICANN communities, the session will identify practical ways to strengthen At-Large's contribution to ICANN's multistakeholder model and the pathway from community participation to policy influence. Rationale/Desired Outcomes - Justification/Résultats souhaités / Justificación/Resultados deseados * FY27 places increased emphasis on meaningful participation, stronger collaboration and measurable impact. This session responds directly to those priorities by focusing not on how much At-Large participates, but on how participation translates into policy influence. To support a focused and productive plenary, the proposal adopts a two-stage approach. 1) During ICANN87 Prep Week, At-Large participants will examine two or three representative examples of policy engagement and identify the factors that contributed to—or limited—their influence. These preliminary findings will form the basis of the plenary discussion. 2) The plenary will then invite Board members and representatives from other ICANN communities to test, challenge and refine those findings, helping identify practical ways to strengthen At-Large's effectiveness within ICANN's multistakeholder model. The principal output of the session will be an At-Large Influence Map identifying the key factors that strengthen or limit At-Large's policy influence. Following the session, the organizers will prepare a short report summarizing the discussion, the Influence Map, and a concise set of recommendations to inform implementation of the FY27 Strategic Priorities and future At-Large work on policy engagement and collaboration. How would the outcomes of your session assist in the pursuit of the FY27 ALAC Strategic Priorities *ALAC FY27 Strategic Priorities & Core Activities <https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/1250852899/…>* or some other longer term direction for the At-Large? * FY27 emphasizes meaningful participation, stronger collaboration and measurable impact. This proposal focuses on how those objectives can be translated into practice. Rather than simply encouraging greater participation, it asks how participation becomes influence and how that influence can be strengthened and assessed. By learning from At-Large's own experience and testing those lessons with the wider ICANN community, the session will help identify practical ways to improve policy engagement, strengthen collaboration across ICANN, and better demonstrate the value At-Large brings to the multistakeholder model. Which, if any, other community groups do you plan to involve in your session? Please explain your plans for working cooperatively with the group(s), including your contacts, skill sets sought, etc. * The plenary is intended as a cross-community discussion rather than an internal At-Large conversation. Representatives from the ALAC, ICANN Board, GNSO, GAC, and SSAC would be invited to respond to the preliminary findings developed during Prep Week, offering their perspectives on what enables effective collaboration and where At-Large can strengthen its influence. The objective is not for invited participants to deliver presentations, but to engage directly with the findings, challenge assumptions where appropriate, and help identify practical ways to improve collaboration and policy impact. Session Leaders/Facilitators and Panelists/Presenters - Facilitateurs de session et présentateurs - Líderes de sesión/facilitadores y panelistas/presentadores * Jonathan Zuck (ALAC) – At-Large policy and community effectiveness perspective Tripti Sinha – ICANN Board – Strategic and governance perspective Sebastien Ducos (or Philippe Fouquart) – GNSO – Policy development and cross-community collaboration perspective Manal Ismail – GAC – Government and public policy perspective Julie Hammer (or another SSAC representative) – Technical and security perspective The format would prioritize moderated debate and audience participation rather than a sequence of presentations. The session will follow a simple, discussion-driven format. The moderator will briefly present the findings from the Prep Week discussion. Followed by an audience poll. Invited speakers will respond to those findings through moderated discussion rather than formal presentations. This will be followed by an open floor Q/A A final audience poll to identify the priority actions that should guide At-Large's future work. Are you planning on inviting any ICANN Board members/Executives? If so, please list hereafter in order for Staff to work with Board Operations on invitations. * Yes, Tripti Sinha Additional information or comments / The proposal intentionally separates internal reflection from cross-community dialogue. During ICANN87 Prep Week, At-Large participants will review representative policy experiences, discuss what contributed to—or limited—their influence, complete a live poll on the key drivers of influence, and agree on a small set of preliminary findings. The plenary will begin by presenting those findings to the wider ICANN community. An opening poll will compare At-Large's views with those of the broader community, after which Board members and representatives from other Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees will respond through a moderated discussion rather than prepared presentations. A final poll will identify the priority actions for strengthening At-Large's influence, and the moderator will conclude with a synthesis of the discussion and practical recommendations.
