The final statements of all five working groups was compiled into the Declaration of the At-Large Summit, presented to the Board of ICANN at the Public Board Meeting in Mexico City. In order to ensure that the entire At-Large community had the opportunity to review the five statements, and for their perspectives to be taken into account, the ALAC resolved upon a process of consultation and amendment for the statements by resolution at its 24th March 2009 teleconference.  As a result, the Summit Working Group statement was opened for public comments by the At-Large community on 1st April, closing on 1st May. The Chair of the ALAC then requested the Staff to open a vote on the document, said vote opening on 8th May and closing on 15th May. The following results were announced on 16th May by the Staff:
The Statement on At-Large Participation in ICANN was endorsed with 11 votes in favour, 0 votes against and 0 abstentions.
