There is no formal description. The Working Party (WP) will be overseeing the At-Large Review which will be starting shortly and will likely go one for over a year, possibly well over. There is a presentation on the review which references the WP on the page that Evan pointed to. The WP is led by Holly with me and Cheryl (as a past ALAC Chair and the person who played a very large role in the last At-large review), plus, for each RALO, one ALAC member and one other person named by the RALO Chair. The last review focused exclusively on the ALAC, and it is expected that the RALOs and ALSes will be a main focus of the forthcoming review (but the ALAC too will be included to a lesser or greater extent. The intent of the review is to verify the that At-Large is fit-for-purpose and to propose improvements as necessary. The review will be conducted by an external consultant in coordination with the WP. The people on this group are expected to have a very deep knowledge of At-Large. Their first task will be to create a survey to be taken by members of the community, both within and outside At-Large. The WP concept was originalted by the GNSO when they started the fires review of the current series last year.

Hello everyone,
There is a call for NARALO to choose one person for the Working Party (strange name) to work with the ICANN Board's Structural Improvements Committee in its scheduled review of ICANN At-Large. This group will have the ability to reform the structure of At-Large to make it more effective at its Bylaw-mandated tasks.
The ALAC representative from the NA region is Eduardo. I actually had an interest in this myself until a recent change of circumstances. Is there anyone here who would like to step forward for this major, long-term role?
