Why no room for individuals in the RALO?
by Wendy Seltzer March 28, 2007

March 28, 2007

Please help me to understand why you are creating a RALO that excludes individuals who haven't found a congenial ALS. It looks to me as though this structure just further disenfranchises the individuals from ICANN processes. Why should the individual Internet user support this structure? When I asked earlier, I had thought the European group was including individual participants. Why the rush? --Wendy At 08:21 AM 3/28/2007, Nick Ashton-Hart wrote: >Dear European Colleagues: > >For those who are not physically present tomorrow, but would like to >be one of the signers of the MoU, a procedure has been created for you. > >PLEASE SEND IN AS BELOW NOT LATER THAN 1700 THURSDAY 29TH MARCH 2007 > >PLEASE NOTE: There will be a way, as provided by the MoU, to be >determined by the EURALO, for ALSes to consent to be bound by the >MoU at a later date. > >Simply send to me, copied to the list, the following form of words, >with the name of your organisation in place of the brackets, and as >required directly below the sentence: > >------- > >I hereby consent for [INSERT ORGANISATION FULL NAME] to be bound by >the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding between ICANN and the >Signing Organisations in the European Region as if I were personally >signing the document. > >Name >Organisational Title >Date > >---- >Note that I have attached the signature text of the MoU in the >current version.

Re: [EURO-Discuss] Signing the MoUs
by Nick Ashton-Hart March 28, 2007

March 28, 2007

I am working with the legal people on a form of words which can be transmitted by email, allowing those who do so to be a signer even if they are not physically present, and we can acknowledge these ALSes as a part of the ceremony. With respect to the EURALO being a party: My suggestion for a procedure to do this most readily would be tha the signing organisations should collectively assign all of their rights and obligations in perpetuity to EURALO and the whole membership thereof. The other way to do this is for a side letter to be signed between ICANN and EURALO acknowledging that EURALO is a signing organisations as well as the individual ALSes who originally signed. The effect of either is the same in the end.

Clean Text and Redlined Versions of the MoU
by Nick Ashton-Hart March 26, 2007

March 26, 2007

Dear All: I've uploaded the final versions and the clean text versions of the MoU to www.afralo.org, available at: https://st.icann.org/euralo/index.cgi?ralo_organising_instruments. I will put the text of the Bylaws, once renumbered and cleaned-up (in terms of presentation, not substantive changes to text) later this morning. I believe there are no objections from the ICANN General Counsel's staff to the MoU, though I will get final confirmation later this morning. -- -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom UK Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
