According to AFRALO's own metrics, the participation of ALS representatives increased by 30 percent in the two months following the conference. The organization also expects this participation level to extend to the At-Large policy development process and in At-Large Working Groups.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/update/update-jan12-en.htm#13 ICANN POLICY UPDATE | Volume 12, Issue 1 — January 2012], ICANN.org.
