IcannAtLarge.org is global internet community whose members
are concerned about issues such as

* Your right to have your privacy respected on the Internet and your
personal information protected from people who would misuse it
(spammers, governments, sellers of marketing data...).
* Your right to register a domain name easily and securely, to transfer
it to another registrar when you want to, and to fair judgment of
disputes about trademarks and intellectual property issues about your
domain name.
* Your right to know how "top level domains" (TLDs, the ".com",
".net", etc. extensions at the ends of domain names) are chosen, how
the registrars are licenced and the registry maintained, and how the
policies about these things are made.
* Your right to personal privacy, security and freedom on the Internet
as in real life.
* Your right as an individual to use the Internet freely, regardless of
who or where you are, without censorship or invasive monitoring or
limitations imposed by governments, commercial interests, or regulatory
bodies like the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN).
* Your right to a voice --and a vote-- in the making of policies,rules
and laws which affect your ability to communicate freely over the
Internet without interference or restriction.
* Your right to a voice in how the domain name system (DNS) operates
and is governed, as well as in other technical issues affecting the
rights of Internet users around the world.

ICANNATLARGE.ORG intends to address these issues and represent all
individual Internet users where the policies and rules are made -- by
ICANN and its the At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), the Domain Name
Supporting Organization (DNSO), the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) and other organizations which seek to protect their own
interests rather than yours.

We believe in an open, bottom-up, democratic process which begins with
you and other individual internet users.

We believe that together we can make sure that the Internet is governed
and administered for the benefit of all rather than for the benefit of
certain interest-groups.

You can help us by joining (it's free) and participating in our effort
to protect the communications rights of individuals like yourself.
Please register {here} and make sure your voice --and your vote-- will
count.
