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).

Reflections on NomCom 2014 experience ....
by Veronica Cretu June 29, 2014

June 29, 2014

Dear Euralo colleagues, warm greetings to you all! As I am leaving London this morning for home, I am also leaving behind a tremendous amount of work that has been done by NomCom 2014. In line with the above, I wanted to thank you all for entrusting me to serve on NomCom during the past 2 years. It has been a very rewarding professional experience and t*he level of colleagiality, engagement, professionalism of the leadership of NomCom 2014 has just been stunning: Cheryl's extraordinay management and leadership skills, Stephan's capacity to challenge and his analytical thinking, Yrjo's tactfulness and diplomatic skills - all made it a very succesul NomCom and I am very proud to having had the opportunity to be on NomCom! * Of course, there is nothing perfect in this world, so we will continue (in the months to come), building on our key take away and contribute to the 'continuity' of NomCom via frameworks, approaches, mechanisms which could be institutionalized and make the work of the upcoming NomComs even better. For colleagues who are going to become part of NomComs in the future, here are my few tips based on the past 2 years: 1. *Time* *Management* - make sure you dedicate at least 4-8 hours per week on a regular basis to be able to keep track of what is being discussed and thus, be able to contribute. During the period when the SOIs (Statements of interest) are already in place, make sure you dedicate more time, especially to analyse carefully the data provided by the candidates; 2. * Outreach *- make sure you are using all the opportunities /other fora you are part of, in order to reach out to the best candidates possible. Be present online, share via the social media, engage with people who might be interested and encourage them to apply for ICANN leadership positions NomCom will recruit for. 3. *Latest research on core competences * - document yourself on competences that are needed and will be needed given the rapidly evolving world, look beyond the standard ones, try to be futuristing in your thinking when dealing with candidates and see how much of their competences will help them get out of their 'comfort zone' and really be able to provide input and make things progress; 4. *Latest research on personal development* - professional life needs to be balanced, and that means people should have personal development related goals and objectives. How you are able to 'read' through candidates' statements and interviews how much of that balance is in place, what do those people want to achieve in their lives in the years to come - again, this is something to do some research about. it is very valuable to bring these perpectives into the discussions as well. 5. *Emerging issues and international agenda/politics/diplomacy* - these are areas NomCom members have to also be able to bring some reflections on, given that candidates one brings to ICANN will be facing challenges related not only to the technical side of the issue, but also with other dimensions such as diplomayc/politics and be able to analyze and interprete how these are going to affect the work of ICANN in the years ahead. Well documentation of hte latest regional and international trends is crucial. 6. *Self-motivation* - NomCom needs people with intrinsic motivation, able to self-organize and really be interested in doing the work ahead of them. There is noone in NomCom responsible for motivating you, as a member, to be more active, or to incentivize you - this is not the case! You either do it, or will be left behind! It is all in your hands! So, if there is no strong internal motivation for this, NomCom is not for you:)! And finally, I will end up with one of the quotes from Jim Carrey which I really like a lot - "the best currency one has today is the capacity to influence the others" (lives, activity, etc in a positive sense) - So, if you consider that you have that capacity + all the above, NomCom is a perfect venue for you:)! With best regards from Heathrow ariport and thank you all very much once again! Will be back with updates from NomCom as we move ahead with some administrative work/details!

GA and Fayre of opportunities
by EMP June 28, 2014

June 28, 2014

Dear all, I hope everybody is safe and sound at home after London. It was absolutely fantastic event, and now we have a lot of work to do. For me it means first of all to make some summaries from the work which is done. Thousand of thanks for fantastic experience with EURALO GA - I filled myself 25 years younger, returned to my Soviet past. And thousand of thanks for Fayre of opportunities . I did see great opportunities in APRALO and I applied to it as an individual member. I also highly appreciate great work, which was done by TG4 on Transparency and Accountability. One of our recommendation was to strengthen the role of Ombudsman on this issue. I used already this opportunity and asked for his help in understanding situation within EURALO regarding duties and responsibilities of EURALO officers. Best regards, Oksana
