The [[ICANN Board]] adopted new bylaws on October 31, 2002, which came into effect on December 15, 2002. The creation of the ALAC was part of a larger reform effort within ICANN, now known as ICANN 2.0. The new bylaws established the ALAC and provided support for At-Large Organizations. It stated that the ALAC should consist of ten members selected by [[RALO|Regional At-Large Organizations]], with five supplementary members to be selected by [[NomCom|ICANN's Nominating Committee]]. The interim ALAC consisted of ten members, two from each of ICANN's 5 regions.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/committees/alac/ ALAC History]</ref>

In her testimony to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation on December 8, 2011, [[Esther Dyson]], former Chair of the ICANN Board and ALAC member, noted the difficulty of representing the average Internet user within ICANN, even with the ALAC. Specific problems included recruiting members and fostering productive message boards and long-distance communications.<ref>[http://commerce.senate.gov/public/?a=Files.Serve&File_id=c81ce454-f519-4373-a51d-234c61755e39 Commerce.Senate.gov]</ref> Since then, ALAC has focused its attention on addressing these issues, among others, to cultivate more and better participation by end-users in the At-Large Community.<ref>[https://atlarge.icann.org/get-involved At-Large Get Involved]</ref>
