[[Data Escrow]] is the act of storing data with a neutral third party in case of [[registry]] or [[registrar]] failure, accreditation termination, or accreditation relapse without renewal. [[ICANN]] requires all registrars and [[gTLD]] registries to contract with a data escrow provider in order to safeguard registrants. Both registry and registry escrows follow the same system: a weekly full deposit on sundays, and a partial deposit on all other days containing all new data since the last full deposit. Registry Data Escrow is one of the essential stakeholder protection mechanisms for gTLDs. Registry Data Escrow ensures that the data associated with registered domain names is never at risk of being lost or inaccessible.

[[At-Large Structure]]s (ALSes) are independent and self-supporting organizations within [[ICANN]]'s At-Large Community, which aims to represent the voice of individual Internet users all over the world. ALSes provide an avenue for every Individual Internet user to take part in all the issues discussed within ICANN.

The [[At-Large Advisory Committee]] (ALAC) is responsible for evaluating, processing and certifying the applications of any group that are interested to become an At-Large Structures after the criteria set forth by ICANN for ALSes is met. At present, there are 153 ALSes worldwide.
