Jan. 15, 2026

[cid:image001.png@01DC8622.78E2C5D0] 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.

Dear All, The ALAC periodically appoint individuals to represent the interests of the ALAC and the At-Large Community, to act on behalf of the ALAC or to meet other specific obligations, to various bodies within or outside of ICANN. Among such ALAC Appointees are our formal liaisons to the GAC, the SSAC, the GNSO, and the ccNSO. While equally strategic to the ALAC, these 4 Liaisons carry varying responsibilities, often demanding differing knowledge, skills and time commitments, and even the right temperament, to be successful in their respective roles. Whether you just want to better understand the scope of work for these 4 ALAC Liaisons, or are aspiring for selection as an ALAC Liaison in the future, please join us for a series of planned Fireside Chats which will continue into 2026. To kick off the series, two At-Large Fireside Chats with the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO, Justine Chew, have been scheduled, to accommodate the various time-zones: * Tuesday, 16 December 2025 at 19:00 UTC (60 minutes) * Agenda page with details: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/GADFJw * Zoom registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/SP7knIu0QUm7xY6AmQz3Aw <https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/SP7knIu0QUm7xY6AmQz3Aw> * Thursday, 18 December 2025 at 13:00 UTC (60 minutes) * Agenda page with details: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QYDNJw * Zoom registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5RuuWc7wFXYH5EQ <https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5RuuWc7wFXYH5EQ> These Fireside Chats form part of the FY2026 At-Large Capacity Development Initiatives<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hnv5EnPAOu99Narg13yTc1kOjozDArg_m6g_KQy…>.

Whatever the form of communication, the process by which such an output is developed is normally a bottom-up one and built around informed consensus. Whether you're keen to commence or deepen your participation in this process, or just interested to observe how the At-Large Community develops such outputs, please come join us at one of the two At-Large briefing sessions: Informed Consensus: An Approach to At-Large Position Development, scheduled for: * Tuesday, 02 December 2025 at 19:00 UTC * Agenda page with details (to include zoom registration): https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/SQB6JQ [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/SQB…> * Thursday, 04 December 2025 at 14:00 UTC * Agenda page with details (to include zoom registration): https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AYCYJQ [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AYC…> Thank you.
