People throughout the world who want to be involved in issues that affect individuals' use of the Internet's domain name system (DNS) are encouraged to seek "At-Large Structure" designation and participate in ICANN. Any group (existing or newly formed for this purpose) that supports individuals' ability to share their views on ICANN issues, and that meets the few simple criteria listed on the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) website, can apply to be an At-Large Structure.

Steps for "At-Large Structure" Certification:

1. A group reviews the criteria for an At-Large Structure (ALS) and (if it believes it meets the criteria) completes and submits an ALS application.
2. The ALAC sends the group (applicant) an email confirming the application was received.
3. The ALAC conducts due diligence, checking the application and available information and performing necessary tasks in an effort to ensure that the criteria has been, or will be, met.
4. The ALAC reviews the application and related documentation.
5. The ALAC votes on certifying the applicant as an "At-Large Structure."
6. The ALAC notifies the applicant of its decision and posts ALS notices on its website.
7. The applicant (At-Large Structure) receives materials and support for information sharing and ICANN involvement.
