The ALM's mission would be to constructively contribute to a more democratic and legitimate governance structure at ICANN by enabling "full and fair representation of the public's interest in ICANN."

In particular, the ALM's goals should be to:

Empower the public to participate and contribute to the ICANN process in a meaningful way;
Select representatives of the public on ICANN's Board through direct and open elections;
Offer an interface of deliberation and communication between the public, ICANN's constituencies and governing structures to foster the public interest;
Assure accountability of ICANN by demanding and monitoring increased responsiveness from ICANN decision makers; and
Guarantee the rights of the public to representation and participation within ICANN.
