EURALO Table of Expertise - Update requested
by ICANN At-Large Staff Feb. 9, 2018

Feb. 9, 2018

Dear EURALO members, On behalf of Yrjo Lansipuro, Chair of the EURALO ALS Engagement Task Force<https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Task+Force+on+At-Large+St…> we would like to request you to review and complete, as appropriate, the "Table of Expertise<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QjrOsGLQCCuMYJhVaLIVtYw-ifDSeNX2BXG…>". The table, compiled with the help of ALS'es and Individual Members last year, has already proved to be useful in eliciting valuable inputs from them into drafting statements and comments that ALAC contributes to ICANN's policy development. The Task Force wants to keep this tool up to date, and therefore asks ALS'es and Individual Members to review their part in the table, adding new information as appropriate, eg. new themes of interest and names of additional subject matter experts. Feel free to add any theme/topic not included in the table and relevant to ICANN's remit. For guidance on topics see: https://atlarge.icann.org/ Even if there are no changes, the Task Force would appreciate a short message to that effect. The table is an editable "google doc<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QjrOsGLQCCuMYJhVaLIVtYw-ifDSeNX2BXG…>" open to all for edit. Please be so kind to update the table by March 2, 2018. Thank you!
