the EURALO board
by Wolf Ludwig Aug. 15, 2007

Aug. 15, 2007

After facing some problems with the EURALO-list, Jeanette and I would like to forward you the following announcement: Hi all, thanks to Jeanette for taking the initiative. I fully agree with the summary of our late discussions. Being aware about Jeanette's time constraints I personally would prefer the option of a co-chair. I am pleased to confirm the announcement of our candidature. Best regards, Wolf Jeanette Hofmann wrote Tue, 19 Jun 2007 22:17: Hi everyone, it seems the election of the ALAC members and of the EURALO board was so traumatic that a rather lively list fell dead silent after we got the results. There is something destructiv or at least polarizing about majority votes, they don't do justice to minorities. How to deal with this situation? First of all, the board needs to become operational, and it needs a chair. If we are lucky, the tasks of the coming months will help us to overcome or at least alleviate some of the cleavages we have seen on this list. Wolf Ludwig and I have talked about the election of the chair and we have decided to run as a duo either with him as chair and me as vice-chair or the two of us as co-chairs. We both have very positive experience with co-chairing. We are not aware that the bylaws would prohibit such a solution. I want to be frank though as I am afraid of over-committing myself. As some of you know, I am going to move to London in early autumn and start a new job. Thus I cannot commit a lot of time to this task in the coming months and I would see myself rather in the role of assisting Wolf and the board with whatever objectives they plan to accomplish. If this seems acceptable Wolf and I would like to announce our candidature. Best, Jeanette comunica-ch phone +41 79 204 83 87 www.comunica-ch.net http://blog.allmend.ch - Digitale Allmend

Wolfgang, I am encouraged by what you say! I also hope that the EURALO will lead the processes, instead of just following them. It's up to the RALOs to show that they can contribute, after some lengthly delays. ISOC-Bulgaria will be happy to contribute through Dessi, and whatever it takes to make sure there's progress. veni

RALO next steps?
by Jacqueline A. Morris June 25, 2007

June 25, 2007

Paul Twomey just mentioned in his President’s report the need for the RALOs to get going quickly on input to the policy processes of ICANN. He also mentioned this in both RALO meetings on Sunday. We should not focus exclusively on building up heavy structures, creating documents, rules and procedures, but we should focus on and move ahead on obtaining and transmitting the end user perspective on the main issues that are on the table at ICANN right now. Some of these are: · Protection of Registrants in relation to Registrars (RAA amendments) · IPv6 · IDNs · DNSSEC · gTLD process · ICANN Geographic Regions (a joint interest with the ccNSO) Most of these will be the subject of workshops or tutorials this week. For those of you who are here in San Juan, please make time to attend the sessions. Remote participation is available for most of the sessions as well. ALAC members who have focused on some of these issues, building specialties in certain issues, will also be available to discuss the issues with you if you want. We have also created At Large working groups on some of these issues, and you can find this information at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?at_large_policy_working_groups Thanks everyone Jacqueline PS: Can AP and AF members forward this to those lists? (Alice, Hawa, Mohammed, Cheryl, Siavash, Izumi) I’ve not got access to those lists as yet – working on it. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hi Karen, fyi: most of the board is "remote" now - if you relate to the icann meeting. here, in san juan are only the non-voting board members of alac (sebastien, veronica and myself) as well as vittorio and désirée. In respect to EURALO we all meet only online. ;-) best annette > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Discussion for At-Large Europe <euro-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> > Gesendet: 25.06.07 01:36:20 > An: Discussion for At-Large Europe <euro-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> > Betreff: Re: [EURO-Discuss] the EURALO board > > hi wolf > > >For my part, I would feel comfortable to proceed along the lines > >suggested by Vittorio and Bill -- as I confirmed already in my > >previous mail. > > sorry if i missed that - i really struggled to read that last message > of yours as the lines were all wrapped.. > > >I also agree with other motions from yesterday that it's no priority > >at all to start discussions about modifying or changing the By-laws. > >It makes no sense to continue with procedural issues.

Arranging a EURALO Board meeting during San Juan
by Nick Ashton-Hart June 17, 2007

June 17, 2007

Dear All: I'm happy to make the administrative arrangements for a F2F/remote participation meeting of the EURALO board during the San Juan meeting (and indeed at any other time of course), however, I do need some advance warning. The San Juan schedule is now out, at http://www.icann.org/meetings/ sanjuan - could those who plan to attend San Juan perhaps provide those not attending with their availability? Once you all have decided what you wish to do I'll make the necessary arrangements. If a teleconference of members is needed to make the decision again I'm happy to make that arrangement too. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
