New European Commission
by Christopher Wilkinson June 20, 2016

June 20, 2016

Good afternoon: Allow me to draw your attention to the announcement of the composition and portfolios of the new European Commission from the point of view of Digital Economy and Society, the Internet and Internet Governance. http://ec.europa.eu/about/juncker-commission/commissioners-designate/index_… The Vice President of the Commission for the Digital Single Market will be Andrus Ansip (EE) The Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society will be Günther Oettinger (DE). In particular his responsibilities include: "Working with the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President to develop the relationship with strategic partners in order to build a global governance architecture for the Internet which is legitimate, transparent, accountable, sustainable and inclusive. This includes ensuring the Internet remains open, a driving force for innovation and an international resource that benefits the European economy and citizens." I am sure that more detailed reporting and analysis will emerge in the next few days. Meanwhile, I thought that you might welcome a 'heads up' as to these developments.. Regards Christopher Wilkinson

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). Kind regards, Wolf EuroDIG Secretariat http://www.eurodig.org/ mobile +41 79 204 83 87 Skype: Wolf-Ludwig EURALO - ICANN's Regional At-Large Organisation http://euralo.org Profile on LinkedIn http://ch.linkedin.com/in/wolfludwig
