My 2 cents
by Roberto Gaetano June 29, 2013

June 29, 2013

Dear all, I was hesitant about writing my opinion, but then I thought it was important to provide a contribution. I have seen things from the outside: I have not attended the GA, so I cannot know what happened exactly and how exact the minutes are, and I am not a voting member, so I am not involved in the choice of the Secretariat. The first impression you get from the outside is that there has been a lack of preparation of the event. I am not saying this to point fingers at anybody: not having contributed at all, I am the last person who can complain. My point is just "next time we have to do it better". We seem to need a review of the bylaws. Again, I am not in a position to complain, I am not a lawyer, I am the last person who can indicate what needs to be changed, but I am observing that there is at least a lack of clarity on what the bylaws indicate. I welcome wholeheartedly Manuel's effort in cleaning up the workspace and the documents: if things need to be revised, it is already a good start to have a baseline. On the election, first the good news. I remember the times when we needed to twist people's arms to accept a position in Euralo: I welcome now the fact that we cave competing candidates. This is a very good sign of growth of the organization, and a promising start for the future. However, I wonder whether this factual change in Euralo (higher interest from participants) should be matched by a cultural change, a paradigm switch. We need to transition from an organization in its infancy, who relies on heroes and personal initiative, to a mature organization, who relies on well-defined roles, well-written bylaws, well-designed recruitment and appointment systems. And (but this might be rather the object of another message, about priorities and mission) a well-defined strategy and plans to achieve the strategic objectives. Back to the election, I agree with Wolf when he states "I need to have confidence in my co-leadership what is the Secretariat at the moment", and with Werner when he states that according to the bylaws we do not need an election for the Secretariat. However, we have started a process, and we need to close it in the best way, without shortcuts at without giving the impression that we twist the results to suit what we believe would be the best outcome. My personal opinion would be that the election be continued with the same system that had been decided. This means that, since the first round did not provide a successful outcome, in the sense that no candidate got the absolute majority, we go to a second round with the same options (A, B or none) where a relative majority would be sufficient. If the two candidates get the same number of votes, I see no other option than to go to another vote. I believe that this course of action, besides being the one that is closer to a formal interpretation of the rules, will be the one that will leave least bitter feelings behind. With all due respect to the candidates, we need to think of a solution that puts the interest of the organization above the individual expectations, and that will allow us, whatever the result of the vote, to turn the page and progress until the next appointment, which I believe will be in London 2014. We need to use the time between now and London 2014 to build solid bases for Euralo 2.0, not to argue about what should/would have happened at the last election. Cheers, Roberto

Cleaning up the Workspace and: Documents!
by Manuel Schneider June 28, 2013

June 28, 2013

Dear all, yesterday we discussed that I will clean up our workspace a little bit. While this is mailinglist is our analogy of the phone, meeting room and pantry (communications), the Wiki is our fileserver, desk and shelf (workplace and storage). I have started creating areas in our Wiki to make it easier to find stuff. Now I am working through old content to clean up, rename, move to the right places. There are a lot of interesting things to be found on the Wiki! * https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/Procedure%3A+How+to+deal+with+in… ---> Has that ever been voted on? * https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/Strategy+2009-2011 ...and a lot more! My goal is to get rid of the "European Regional At-Large Organization (EURALO)" sub-page which was the top page for everything else in an otherwise empty workspace. That way I am also introducing new templates and get rid of most of the subpages which make it so hard to find content. Also most of that content is redundant - we have action items in the minutes as well as an extra page, we have attachments spread all over the wiki, I found six versions of the Memorandum of Understanding and three times the Bylaws. This has now been cleaned up, older minutes will follow. At staff: Could you help me to set up new workspace templates? The workspace administrator can do that. Copying old pages to create new ones is copying also all the attachments. The current meeting page has 29 attachments from several years! A template could do this much easier.

IDN TLD operators (including IDN ccTLD, IDN gTLD and IDN gTLD Accredited Registrars) are recommended to support Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs in their own systems. Part of this recommendation is that ICANN's IDN Guidelines be updated to include provisions for IDN TLD registries and registrars to support the Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs within their own systems (i.e. for registration systems and services to accept name server records, child hosts, contact information with IDN TLDs) 2. ICANN should allocate specific resources for the advocacy of Universal Acceptance beyond the development of informational materials and toolkits. 3. ICANN should develop of informative reference materials for new IDN TLDs (including gTLD and ccTLD) to handle issues of Universal Acceptance 4. ICANN initiates efforts, lead by staff, with participation from the community, for further studies to investigate the scope of the issue and what other services or actions could be taken by ICANN to support the Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs beyond outreach and awareness campaigns Best regards, Rinalia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>> Date: Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 6:32 AM Subject: [ALAC-Announce] FW: ICANN News Alert -- Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs To: "alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org>" <alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org>> [http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-25jun13-en.htm ________________________________ Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs 25 June 2013 Forum Announcement: Comment Period Opens on Date: 25 June 2013 Categories/Tags: * Top-Level Domains * Policy Processes * Transparency/Accountability Purpose (Brief): The joint ccNSO-GNSO IDN working Group (JIG) seeks input from the community on its draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs.

steps forward
by Oksana Prykhodko June 24, 2013

June 24, 2013

Dear all, First of all, I would like to thank all of you, who supported me (directly or undirectly) - it was really great! I absolutely understand, that I did not do enough to earn this your support, and I will do my best to learn on my own mistakes. Now I would like to go ahead with very pragmatical propositions. And once again a lot of thanks to Manuel for his minutes of EURALO 2013/06/20 Board Meeting ( https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+2013.06.20+Board+Meeting) Existing EURALO Bylaws are far away from perfect. That is why I propose to create (few days ago I wanted to propose to create initiative Working Group, but, after spending hours on our Bylaws, I am ready to propose to create) Advisory Council on new edition of EURALO Bylaws. What we have to change. 1. The provision regarding the beginning of the term of duties of elected EURALO officers. To avoid such situation as present, I proposed to begin term of duties of every elected EURALO officer from the day after the finnishing of ICANN conference, which follows GA. In case, when the position of any officer is empty, the term begins immediately after his or her election. 2. Election af any EURALO officer has to be conducted through voting mechanism. Even if there is no alternative candidates, each EURALO member has to express his or her willing, marking "for", "against", "abstain". 3. Each EURALO ofiicer, entering his or her duties, has to sign "contract" - document with extremely detailed list of his or her duties and rights. Actually, I have some other propositions regarding our future work, but first of all I would like to receive reaction on these my 2 cents) Best regards, Oksana

Discussions at tonight’s Board meeting and Bylaws
by Wolf Ludwig June 24, 2013

June 24, 2013

Dear all, as discussed and decided tonight at our extraordinary Board meeting after the Lisbon Gala dinner, attached please find a copy of the final version of the EURALO Bylaws. Regarding the question whether the Wednesday’s voting result under Agenda point B 9 b complied with respective Bylaws prescriptions (as some Board members assumed), please see and verify Bylaws article 11.20 For all elections in the General Assembly, candidates shall require an absolute majority of votes of the participating members. If no candidate receives an absolute majority a run-off election shall take place between the two candidates with the greatest number of votes. (I think it’s the one Rudi referred to) And as noted before, the number of votes of the participating members (incl. proxy votes) was 28. It’s now on the members listed tonight (Yrjö, Oliver, Olivier, Jordi and Stefan) to interpret this and related prescriptions and to communicate their conclusions until Friday, 14:00 local Lisbon time – incl. whether further steps need to be taken. Thanks for your advice! I will forward you the list / summary of the EURALO thematic priorities, as discussed and defined under Agenda point C 11 at our Wednesday’s GA, by tomorrow.
