It is not just At-Large which is split on a regional basis, but this same split is throughout ICANN - hence the importance of participating in the public consultation on regional composition :) On 7 Jun 2007, at 17:58, Bret Fausett wrote:
Re: Evan's comment below: The whole idea of segmenting At Large Internet Users into geographic regions merits reconsideration. While we need ways of organizing ourselves and coordinating our activities, we might well find that language is a better organizing tool...or areas of interest. The At Large is up for in depth analysis this year as part of ICANN's ongoing internal review process, so we should have the opportunity to have input on this.

Darlene, I think there's a misunderstanding. ISOC PR couldn't participate in the LACRALO ceremony because they aren't part of that region.
This of course is an arbitrary decision which could (and should) be subject to scrutiny and possible exception
