Text
Whereas, the At-Large Advisory Committee has proposed a revised process for handling applications for membership in the At-Large community worldwide.
Whereas, the new process attempts to improve considerably upon the previous process, including by providing the Regional At-Large Organisations with an important role in evaluating new membership applications.
Whereas, this new process is designed to increase the transparency by which applications are judged, and at the same time help ensure that applicants will understand the criteria for judging applications in advance of submitting them.
Resolved (07.91), the Board takes note of the proposed new ALS applications process, and directs the staff to post the related proposed amendments to Article IX, S2(4)(i) of the ICANN Bylaws for public comment, and requests that staff prepare a summary and analysis of the public comments.
