Message sent on behalf of EURALO’s Chair and Secretariat Dear EURALO members, The current EURALO Board term ends on 9 December 2019. EURALO's Chair and Secretariat would like to announce a call for nominations to fill Board positions for the next 2 years (10 December 2019 – 9 December 2021). This call is made in accordance with the EURALO Articles of Association<https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/Procedures+and+Policies?preview=…> and Selection and performance criteria for EURALO Board members 2015<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_do…>. Please note the current Board will remain in place until the new Board is elected. In addition, there is a need for Board members as a whole, to share responsibilities with the EURALO Chair and Secretariat in assuming the following topics: 1. Legal issues 2. Policy Development 3. Communication including leading the work on the EURALO website/WIKI/Facebook page. 4. Outreach with communities outside ICANN Please note the rules and agreements applicable to this election at: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/euro-discuss/2015-November/004161.…. In accordance with these agreements, kindly note: 1. The size of the EURALO Board will be 3-7 members, plus ex-officio, the EURALO Chair and EURALO Secretary; 2. There should be a maximum limit of 1 Board member per country; 3. As is the usual custom in votes involving people, votes will take place by secret ballot; 4. The Board will be selected for a two-years-term; not performing Board members can be recalled after one year to allow to be replaced by better candidates. The EURALO Board should be balanced but EURALO has not reached a consensus on having direct absolute criteria for geographical (East/Western Europe) or gender criteria. As geographical and gender balance are important in our region, I ask you to consider these issues when making your selection. Please submit your nominations and self-nominations starting today, Monday 9 December until Friday, 13 December 23:59 UTC by sending an email to the EURALO mailing list and coping At-Large staff staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> .
