EURALO candidates for the BMSPC and BCEC
by Wolf Ludwig Oct. 20, 2015

Oct. 20, 2015

Dear all, as discussed this week at our monthly and the following Board call, our region needs to nominate two candidates for the BMSPC (Board member selection process committee) and the BCEC (Board candidates selection committee) each until today. At our Board call we selected some experienced and fresh members who could join one of these important committees and asked them for approval. I have the pleasure to announce that EURALO will be represented with the following members: For the BMSPC – Rudi Vansnick (ISOC-Belgium) and Oksana Prykhodko (European Media Platform, Ukraine). For the BCEC – Veronica Cretu (ind. member, Moldavia) and Jordi Iparraguirre (ISOC-Catalonia). Roberto Gaetano (ind. member, Austria) was selected as Chair of the BCEC already. This composition is well balanced from a gender and regional POV. I would like to thank all our candidates for their interest and willingness to serve on the two committees which are charged with proceedings and selection of the next At-Large member on the ICANN Board (Seat No. 15, currently held by Sébastien Bachollet).

In such a situation, a country code Top Level Domain will be re-delegated without the consent of the incumbent ccTLD manager in cases where there are “persistent problems with the operations of the domain” and where there continues to be “substantial misbehavior” on the part of ccTLD managers despite the IANA Operator’s best efforts to stop the misconduct. A draft statement has been prepared and is available for your input/comment on the following wikipage: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=43980716 If you have thoughts or opinions on this topic, please do provide your input/comments on the wikipage.

Re: [EURO-Discuss] NOW OPEN: 2013 ALAC ALT and Liaison Nominations
by Alan Greenberg Nov. 13, 2013

Nov. 13, 2013

According to the RoP, there are a total of five ALAC Leadership Team (ALT) positions, one from each of the five regions, and Olivier from EURALO is already in the position of Chair. I also note that there is a minor issue in the call for nominations in that under the new RoP, we no longer have a rapporteur and it should be vice-chairs instead of vice-presidents. I nominate the following for the ALT: Tijani Ben Jemaa (AFRALO) - Vice-chair Evan Leibovitch (NARALO) - Vice-chair Holly Raiche (APRALO) Dev Anand Teelucksingh (LACRALO) I of course support the nomination of Maureen Hilyard as ccNSO Liaison, and I nominate Julie Hammer as SSAC Liaison Last year I agreed to serve as GNSO Liaison with the understanding that we would consciously get more people involved in GNSO activities. That has not happened to any great extent. As such, if the ALAC desires, I am willing to continue to serve in this capacity, but with the understanding that we take posative action to get someone else into the role as quickly as possible.

Invitation: Conference on Global Internet Governance in Bern, 6-7 December
by William Drake Nov. 13, 2013

Nov. 13, 2013

Hi Mira Burri of the World Trade Institute (WTI) and I are organizing the Biannual Conference of the Swiss Network of International Studies (SNIS) at the WTI, University of Bern on Friday – Saturday December 6th – 7th. The event is titled, The Institutionalization of Global Internet Governance: Multistakeholderism, Multilateralism and Beyond, and will feature some leading analysts of Internet governance presenting draft memos that will subsequently grow into chapters for an edited book we'll publish late next year. As the name suggests, this is an effort to pull back from the various debates concerning multilateral vs multistakeholder vs other global governance architectures and set the questions in a broader framework focused on the processes of international institutionalization and institutional design. By exploring shared analytical concerns with respect to concrete cases, we hope to provide greater clarity about the costs/benefits of different design choices, highlight practices worth replicating or avoiding, identify generalizable lessons learned, and so on. We believe a conference and book along these lines will be rather timely and could make a real contribution to advancing the global debate. If this is of interest to anyone in Euralo, we’d love to have you there. The program and registration are at http://www.snis.ch/node/8146. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks for considering this invitation. Best, Bill ********************************************************** William J.

Nov. 12, 2013

Dear all, As you might know, our organization, member of the Working Group 2, Licences for Europe, TaC International has become a victim of the aggressive communication prepared by the EDRI representative, disseminated in the format of a newsletter on the 9th of October 2013. It contains statements of defamatory nature, which target the organisation and its representative, Ms Yuliya Morenets, at a personal level. As you know, all communications made by TaC during its engagement in the Licences for Europe Working Group 2 are publicly available at the European Commission website dedicated to the working Group (http://ec.europa.eu/licences-for-europe-dialogue/en) TaC believes in cooperation and dialogue, therefore the author of the EDRI communication has been asked to remove the mentioned defamatory content and is informed about the legal consequences of disseminating information of aggressive and defamatory nature. Please find attached the open statement prepared by TaC President, which is publicly communicated in different communities. I look forward to working together, With best regards, Yuliya Morenets TaC-Together against Cybercrime International
