"At-Large" is the name for the community of individual Internet users who voluntarily participate in the policy development work of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), the organization that coordinates the Internet's global system of identifiers [primarily Domain Names and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses].

Today, more than 160 At-Large Structure (ALS) organizations exist throughout the world. This community selects 10 members of the the 15 member committee which makes up the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), with the remaining 5 being appointed by the ICANN Nominating Committee.

The ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) along with the At-Large community will hold a second At-Large Summit (ATLAS II) at the June 2014 ICANN Meeting in London on the theme of "Global Internet: The User Perspective". ATLAS II will build upon the successful activities of the At-Large community since the first At-Large Summit (ATLAS) was held alongside the ICANN Meeting in Mexico in March 2009 -- an event of fundamental importance since it became the foundation stone to the involvement of many of our At-Large Structures (ALSes) in ICANN. From 21 to 26 June 2014, the ATLAS II will welcome the representatives of over 160 ALSes around the globe to participate in its events.
