Universal Acceptance
by Roberto Gaetano July 25, 2019

July 25, 2019

Hi all. As most of you know, I have been always pushing for Universal Acceptance, including the deployment of IDN TLDs. I strongly believe that this is one of the game changers for reaching out to the next billion Internet users and giving equal opportunities for enjoying the benefits of online communication. There will be a working session at EuroDIG (https://www.eurodig.org<https://www.eurodig.org/>) on this topic on Wednesday 6 June - see the full programme at https://eurodigwiki.org/wiki/Consolidated_programme_2018. I have been appointed focal point for the session, and will therefore coordinate participation. I wonder whether there are any former Directors that are either directly interested or could indicate people within their respective networks who are interested in participating to the discussion on this topic and/or joining the session in Tbilisi. The first step would be to join the EuroDIG-WS6 mailing list, where the session on Universal Acceptance is being prepared. Instructions for joining can be found at the WS6 info page (https://list.eurodig.org/mailman/listinfo/ws6) Please feel free to contact me for further information. Thanks, Roberto

Dear Community Members, I trust this email finds you well. Following the announcement for the Financial Year 2020 ( FY20) Additional Budget Request (ABR) to support At-Large community activities. As part of the process, each RALO has been asked to submit their ABR-Y20 requests for funding. The EURALO Chair, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond has suggested to the 2018-2019 ALAC Finance and Budget Sub-Committee (FBSC) members from our RALO to expedite action on the proposals to be submitted to At-Large staff, on or before the deadline of 4th January 2019. However, EURALO had four proposals submitted for the ABR-Y19, unfortunately, none of the proposals was granted. EURALO Chair and FBSC Representatives are now reviewing, trying to amend (with proposers) and to re-submit three of the proposals for consideration for the ABR-Y20. The proposals are listed below and attached: 1. Diversity in ICANN Leadership Bodies <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/74582171/FY19%20EURALO%20R…> 2. Internet-of-Things (IoT) and the Increasing Governance Challenge Ahead IGF 2019 Workshop <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/74582171/FY19%20EURALO%20R…> 3. Support participation of individual users in EURALO <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/74582171/FY19%20EURALO%20R…> The EURALO FBSC representatives kindly invite the EURALO members to read and comment on the proposals. In addition, we are asking for any other proposals that anyone would like to make, and the proposals should be sent via the mailing list ASAP for us to review prior to the deadline date. As the deadline for submission is near, additional proposals and comments are open today and close on 1200 UTC, 3rd January 2019.

EURALO Hot Topics need updating
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Dec. 19, 2018

Dec. 19, 2018

Dear colleagues, the EURALO Task Force on ALS Engagement has held a call on Thursday (see: https://community.icann.org/x/zQf_BQ ) We briefly discussed the EURALO Hot Topics document which needs to be updated. A few days ago I emailed each EURALO ALS representative on record individually to get input. This is a reminder that we need more input on these hot topics. Starting from the 2017 Hot Topics, the EURALO list of 2018 Hot Topics is on https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vvZoMJL2AcG2bK5vp-bxi6gr3uE8OJULdtpA3Wb… In your opinion, which of the 2017 topics would be worth keeping in EURALO’s focus in the coming year? What new topics would you like to add to the list? The current changes on the document reflect the discussions we had on today's call. We aim to conclude this exercise by January 2019. Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair Yrjö Länsipuro Chair of EURALO ALS Engagement Task Force
