Part D -   MEMBERSHIP

4 Membership 

4.1 Members of The Association shall consist of the   following:

4.1.1 organisations domiciled in Europe supporting the   purposes of The Association which qualify as an ALS.

4.2 Membership shall be by application, in writing, in   the form and containing the information which the Board shall from time to   time determine, and shall be signed.

4.3 The Board shall determine the criteria for   membership, subject to review of the same by the General Assembly, and the   mechanism by which applications for Membership are approved, which may also   be reviewed by the General Assembly.

4.4 Members of other RALOs may not be members of The   Association.

4.5 The Association will promote the formation of user   groups and their accreditation by the ALAC. Nevertheless, mechanisms will be   maintained to ensure that the individual regional users not integrated into   ALSes can express their opinion on the development of ICANN policies.

EURALO recognizes that there needs to be a minimal   standard for involvement and participation at RALO issues.  See the Procedure: How to deal with   inactive ALSes, by Wolf   Ludwig dated June 2011.

No specific measure but some guidance exists

NARALO  

NARALO Operating Principles, 

2013-08-20

The   North American Regional At-Large Organization (NARALO) promotes and assures   the North American user participation in the ICANN policy development   process. It is formed by the unaffiliated individuals who meet the requirements under rule 17 and by those North American   At-Large Structures (ALSs) accredited by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC).  

Rule 17:

The members of the unaffiliated individuals, including   the representative to the NARALO General Assembly must submit an affirmation   to At-Large Staff indicating that they meet the following criteria:

• be subscribed to the NA-Discuss list,

• be a permanent resident of one of the   countries/territories in the North American region as defined by ICANN,

• not be a member of a certified ALS.

Ceasing to meet any of the criteria terminates   unaffiliated membership.

1.   Commit to supporting individual Internet users' informed participation in   ICANN by distributing to individual constituents/members information on   relevant ICANN activities and issues, offering Internet-based mechanisms that   enable discussions of one or more of these activities and issues among   individual constituents/members, and involving individual constituents/members   in relevant ICANN policy development, discussions and decisions.

2.   Be organized so that participation   by individual Internet users who are citizens or residents of countries   within the Geographic Region in which the ALS is based will predominate in   the ALS' operation. The ALS may permit additional participation by others   that is compatible with the interests of the individual Internet users within   the region.

3.   Be self-supporting (not rely on ICANN for funding).

4.   Post on the Internet (on the ALAC's website or elsewhere)   publicly-accessible, current information about the ALS's goals, structure,   description of constituent group(s)/membership, working mechanisms,   leadership, and contact(s).

5. Assist the   RALO in performing its function.
