1.3.2 Definition of "participation"

Even if the "public" is defined broadly, that does not mean there must be only a single means for individuals to "participate" or "be represented" in ICANN's decision making. ICANN's structure suggests, not one, but several potential avenues for the public to participate in ICANN's work. By far the most important (and under-developed) is the At-Large Membership (ALM). Before discussing the untapped potential of the ALM, we want to take note of the other possible avenues, as they ultimately impact the role the ALM can and should play.
