Fwd: Re: Action Items: 2017-02-28 EURALO Monthly Teleconference"
by Jean-Jacques Subrenat Nov. 19, 2017

Nov. 19, 2017

Dear EURALO Colleagues, below, please find an exchange of messages between Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of EURALO, and myself. I appreciate Olivier’s quick reaction, the corrections he brought to my message (number of seats on EURALO Board), and his helpful comments. Best regards, Jean-Jacques. Le 2 mars 2017 à 18:23:09, Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond (ocl(a)gih.com) a écrit: Dear Jean-Jacques, thank you for your follow-up. First, a quick correction to Silvia's email address, as you appear to have it as no-reply(a)icann.org which is when one updates WIKI pages. I have amended Silvia's address accordingly. Please find my comments interspersed in your text. On 02/03/2017 17:49, Jean-Jacques Subrenat wrote: Dear Silvia & All, here is my contribution on the action item under reference. Currently, and unless I’m mistaken, the EURALO Board has 11 members. In the past twelve months, about a third of these members have intervened in EURALO monthly meetings (audio, chat or emails). The EURALO Board actually has only 5 members: Olawale (‘Wale) Shakiru BAKARE - United Kingdom Yrjö Länsipuro - Finland Eric Schweighofer - Austria Annette Mühlberg - Germany Matthieu Camus - France All other "members" - ie. ALAC representatives, Secretary & EURALO Chair are ex-officio. Originally I asked each member of the EURALO Board to share with others what they goals were during their tenancy. These are reflected on https://community.icann.org/x/0QB1Aw . I gather that these should be updated since Mikhail Medrish and Jordi Iparraguire have been replaced. I suggest we consider the following: What are the essential functions the EURALO Board must undertake or uphold? Each item is followed by a recommendation. 1) Ensure conformity of EURALO procedure and actions with existing legal or structural obligations (ICANN, ALAC and EURALO By-laws, Rules of procedure, Accepted standards in meetings, etc.). This applies, but is not limited to: membership, quorum, elections, rough consensus. Recommendation 1: a Board member with experience in these areas, and perhaps with a legal background, should be appointed as the « Legal reference point ». Excellent idea. 2) Consolidate relations with ALAC and other parts of ICANN. As in most ACs and SOs, the Chair of EURALO does this, and does it well (good visibility, good inter-personal skills, deep knowledge of the issues). Recommendation 2: no change. I would like to see our ALAC members take an extra care in fostering the link between ALAC and EURALO. They are our ambassadors on the ALAC. I would also like to see them take a leadership role on the ALAC, like Chairing a working group. As for the EURALO Board members, ideally they could chair a EURALO working group. 3) Enhance cooperation between EURALO and its ALSs. Over the years, this function has been carried out mainly by the Chair and/or Secretary. But with the gradual growth in the number of ALSs, this now requires a dedicated approach. Among other areas where cooperation would be appreciated: help in launching ALS surveys, help in participating in ICANN events, travel and accommodation support, etc. Recommendation 3: designate a Board member who, with the help of Support Staff, would be the prime contact point for all EURALO ALSs. Would this be an "inreach" officer? I would really support this too. 4) Consolidate EURALO contributions to ALAC and ICANN policy development. One of the current tasks is the appraisal of the At-Large Review: because of its complexity, but even more because of the implications of some of the recommendations in that Review, it is necessary to make sure that contributions are made on time, and that they are relevant. Recommendation 4: designate a Board member who is familiar with Policy development in the ICANN ecosystem, and who has a track record of making trains depart and arrive on time, at the right station. Excellent. I hope this is useful. This is *very* useful. Dear Silvia, if Olivier agrees, may I suggest that you send this out to the EURALO list? Thank you. Please do so. Jean-Jacques, please email the EURALO list yourself, so we can follow-up directly. Kindest regards Olivier

EURALO Hot Topics - it's time to update it
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Sept. 26, 2017

Sept. 26, 2017

Hello everyone, we are back with another round of EURALO HOT TOPICS! Yes, it's been a year since drafting the EURALO Hot Topics document. Time has passed and the world has changed. And perhaps have the EURALO Hot Topics changed too! So we're asking you to review the document that we drafted last year. To do that, we've prepared a new WIKI page: https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Hot+Topics+2017 On this page you'll see a link to a Google DOC which has the "EURALO Hot Topics 2017 Draft". It's effectively the 2016 draft that we are inviting you to comment on. We'll then build up on this as time passes. We'll take the whole of September to do this, but check back often, as the document will evolve magically into the 2017 draft. The drafting of the EURALO Hot Topics document will lead to this document being shared with the ALAC. We might even derive a EURALO Statement out of it, that could be transmitted to other interested parties at ICANN. Just remember one thing, the Hot Topics do have to relate to the ICANN mission too. And when you make a suggestion, please explain how this relates to the ICANN mission. Looking forward to your great participation! Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair

Your input needed: EURALO Strategy document is currently being built
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Sept. 26, 2017

Sept. 26, 2017

Dear Colleagues, as a follow-up to prior discussions where it became quite clear that EURALO needed to work on planning its future more pro-actively, Wale Bakare, Vice Chair of the EURALO Individuals Association sent me a first draft of their proposal for a EURALO Strategic plan at the beginning of the summer. After some discussion, it is now time to share this with everyone and gain input from all EURALO members, ALSes and individual members alike. To do that, we've prepared a new WIKI page called EURALO Strategy: https://community.icann.org/x/Qh8hB On this page you'll find a link to a Google DOC which has the "EURALO Strategy 2017". Please go to the Google DOC and comment on this first draft. The drafting of the EURALO Strategy document takes place alongside the EURALO Hot Topics document and the EURALO Outreach Strategy. Our target date for receiving comments and input is the end of September. That's the whole month of September to discuss Strategy and Hot Topics! We need your input. I look forward to be able to share these documents with the ALAC and other RALOs when they will be completed. Looking forward to your participation! Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair

Consensus Call: New EURALO Secretary
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Sept. 19, 2017

Sept. 19, 2017

Dear colleagues, on 4 September 2017, At-Large Staff initiated a call for candidates for the position of EURALO Secretary. The position that came up for renewal was held so far by the incumbent Wolf Ludwig. I have been informed by staff who have updated the EURALO Secretariat Election Page on https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Secretariat+Election+2017, that one self-nomination was received from Olawale Bakare - his SOI being available on the election page. *No application having been received from anyone else, unless I hear to the contrary within 24H (consensus call), I would propose that we welcome Olawale (Wale) Bakare as the next EURALO Secretary by acclamation. * Wolf and Wale have already been in touch with each other and Wolf has proposed mentoring Wale as much as possible to help him into the position. The new candidate will assume his position starting at the end of the ICANN AGM in Abu Dhabi. Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair

Congratulations, Wale and many thanks to Wolf Ludwig for his service to EURALO. Best, Erich ao. Univ.-Prof. Mag.

Is it therefore my pleasure to confirm that Wale has been selected by acclamation as the next EURALO Secretary. As mentioned in my earlier email, Wolf Ludwig has offered Wale his mentoring assistance so we have a smooth transition of duties. The hand-over will take place at the forthcoming ICANN meeting in Abu Dhabi. I would like to thank Wolf for his years of faithful service in EURALO. He has kept EURALO going for so many years - this truly is an achievement, in a region where everyone is already so busy and where the potential incentives that can be found on some of the other continents, are not so significant where people take the Internet for granted. The European region spans so large and is so diverse that we have all sorts of challenges - from the geographical balance that we need to have, to the fact that some parts of our region have access problems that are as significant as in poorer parts of the world. The contrast is such, that ICANN has two Regional VPs to cover the region. Wolf has successfully navigated this complex environment for many years, even before the Regional VPs were in place, and I'd like to really thank him for that. I'd also like to thank him for having helped me into the position of EURALO Chair. I had worked with him in the past when I was assuming the position of Secretary and he taught me a lot. So much so that I consider him not only a colleague, but also a friend. Thank you Wolf. Please join me in a round of applause for him.

by Mirjana Tasic Sept. 15, 2017

Sept. 15, 2017

Dear all, The Latin script community has formed the Latin script Generation Panel (GP), which is developing a Proposal for the Latin Script Root Zone Label Generation Rules, following the LGR Procedure <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> and based on the proposal and work plan <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposal-latin-lgr-15may17-en.p…> developed by the Latin GP. The Latin GP has drafted its guiding principles to determine the code point repertoire for inclusion in the root zone LGR proposal and to determine the variant code points. The principles are being posted for public comments to allow the GP members to get feedback from the language and technical communities as the GP undertakes the tasks of repertoire and variant code point analysis. Based on the feedback, the Latin script GP will finalize the principles to guide its work. Please review the following documents and send feedback to LatinGP(a)icann.org <mailto:LatinGP@icann.org> by 23 October 2017. · Principles for Inclusion and Exclusion of Code points for Latin Script Root Zone LGR <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/52897663/Latin%20GP%20Prin…> · Principles for variants for Latin Script Root Zone LGR <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/52897663/Latin%20GP%20Prin…> We look forward to your comments. For further details visit the Latin GP wiki page <https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Latin+GP>. Regards, Latin GP
