This is a fair question. If I had to answer it, I'd say that two 
significant contributions of the ALAC are:

(1) the ALAC appointments to the Nominating Committee. The ALAC appoints 
5 members of the NomComm, and the Directors and SO appointees from the 
NomComm have been, by and large, quite good for ICANN, and,

(2) involvement of new organizations and individuals in ICANN via the 
ALS and RALO structures. The recent outreach efforts over the last 18 
months have been quite good and resulted in an infusion of new blood 
into the ICANN community.

Is that enough to say it's been a "success"? I don't think so, but it 
may keep it out of "failure" territory.
