The five topics were: 1) '''at-large engagement''', 2) '''the future of ICANN''', 3) '''New gTLDs including IDNs''', 4) '''security issues within ICANN's mandate''', and 4) '''transparency and accountability'''. The general sentiment was that 1) participation was poor; 2) the future of ICANN depended on safeguarding against capture, which was defined as unilateral decision-making and favoring vested interests; 3) there were unnecessary barriers to entry for a broad variety of gTLD applicants; 4) DNS security needed to be stricter; and 5) ICANN needs to be more transparent for Internet users who want to participate and needs to balance operator/business interest with ALAC/GAC. <ref>https://atlarge.icann.org/files/atlarge/correspondence-05mar09-en.pdf</ref>
