EURALO Board nominations
by Roberto Gaetano Nov. 24, 2017

Nov. 24, 2017

Hi all. I would like to nominate Jean-Jacques Subrenat for the Board of EURALO. Jean-Jacques has a long history with ICANN and is currently the Vice-Chairman of the EURALO Individual Users Association, of which I am the Chairman. I believe that his constant engagement and activity for EURALO and for the Internet community, as well as his past and current experience, will be a great asset to the Board. Best regards, Roberto

following the email from Judith Hellerstein below, and the successful involvement of two tribal ambassadors at the ICANN60 meeting in Abu Dhabi (see https://twitter.com/Olivier_CL/status/926093361651568641 ) I have been approached by a new member of the EURALO individuals Association, Dina Solveig, who would be interested to be in the evaluating team for EURALO. https://wiki.techinc.nl/index.php/User:Thomascovenant Since nobody else in EURALO has stepped forward to be in the evaluating team, I propose a consensus call that Dina be the EURALO representative on this team. Let me know if you have any objections.

Crocker has served on the Board for 14 years, the last half as Chair. His term expired at the end of ICANN60. "Steve Crocker's contributions to ICANN and to the development of the Internet as a whole, are outstanding," said Göran Marby, ICANN President & CEO. "He has helped me understand the ICANN community, the dynamics, the history, and what ICANN's mission really means." The award came as a surprise to Crocker. "My greatest source of pride when it comes to this organization is, quite simply, that it works. Furthermore, it works better and more inclusively than many ever thought possible." He went on to say, "In the early days, it was called the 'ICANN experiment'. "We don't hear that anymore because the experiment has proven successful." A Tribute and Toast On 31 October, people gathered to honor and say farewell to Steve Crocker. The informal program included well-wishers from many parts of the Internet world, and from different eras in his career. Fellow Internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Leonard Kleinrock delivered video messages. Other speakers were Göran Marby, ICANN CEO; Houlin Zhao, ITU General Secretary; Larry Stickling, Former NTIA Assistant Secretary; Suzanne Woolf, Former ICANN Board Member; Fadi Chehadé, Former ICANN CEO; and Nii Quaynor, "Father of the Internet in Africa." ICANN's Brad White sat down on the stage for a friendly conversation with Crocker, who reminisced about key moments in his tenure in ICANN and entertained the audience with personal anecdotes.

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

Re: [EURO-Discuss] Regional Advice Needed / 276 Norway Chapter of the Internet Society
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Nov. 17, 2017

Nov. 17, 2017

Dear Colleagues, On the 01 September 2017 we received a EURALO ALS application from *Norway Chapter of the Internet Society*. Due Diligence has now been completed by Staff. I apologise for the delay in treating the delay in treating this application, which is entirely caused by me and bears no reason relating to the application itself. In the past, we shared this due diligence openly on the EURALO mailing list. However, due to the sensitivity of this information as well as developments in Europe that will very likely tighten legislation about Privacy, I do not feel confident any more in sharing the Due Diligence on a open, archived mailing list. Thus, until the ALS Criteria Task Force develops new procedures with staff, which may include storing the due diligence information on a password protected part of the WIKI, *if you wish to consult the due diligence, please email me privately and I'll forward it to you.* The EURALO Board and Leadership is currently consulting the due diligence. I have read it and have also spoken to the applicant. I am very satisfied that the Norway Chapter of the Internet Society fulfils in every sense the requirements for becoming an At-Large Structure. If you wish to lodge an objection to this organisation being accredited as an ALS please email staff(a)at-large.icann.org or me, explaining the reason why. Many thanks, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair
