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).

The process invited 13 communities to launch their internal processes to select their representative members in the Coordination Group. The upcoming Coordination Group gathering is scheduled for 17-18 July 2014 in London at the Hilton Metropole Hotel to finalize its modes of operation and working methods. To ensure transparency, the meeting will be accessible to all global stakeholders. Details of the meeting will be shared in the near future.
