Call for applications CROPP 2017
by Wolf Ludwig April 4, 2017

April 4, 2017

Dear all, as every year by now, EURALO has 5 slots for CROPP (Community Regional Outreach Pilot Program) in the ongoing FY 2016-17. Last Friday, the EURALO Board conducted a call on this issue and decided to launch a call for 2017 candidates via our list. As you may recall, in previous years we dedicated our travel slots to the annual EuroDIG events; and we had some discussions whether we should diversify our CROPP slots to several events? Unfortunately, we missed some alternative events like RightsCon in Brussels 2017 (last week where Bastiaan participated via another arrangement) and we missed the formal submission deadline (8 weeks prior to the event) for re:publica 2017 early May in Berlin – what both would have been interesting alternatives. Therefore the Board decided to use our 5 travel slots for EuroDIG 2017 (and its 10th anniversary) again. Presumably, there will be stronger interest among our members to apply for EuroDIG on 6 – 7 June 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. Therefore the Board agreed on some *selection criteria*, as we designed and applied in previous years already. That means, *preference will be given for applicants / candidates* * Who were not (CROPP) sponsored for EuroDIG in the past years; * Members from Eastern Europe or other “peripheric” parts of our region (South and South East); * Rather new / incoming members (incl. our individuals) to get a chance; * As regional aspects are considered, gender balance will be another selection criteria. As we are under time constraints already, this call for CROPP applications will be rather short ending on Friday, 7 April at lunchtime (12:00 CEST). The Board will review the applicants in a next call on Friday afternoon by selecting the 5 candidates besides 1-2 replacement options. EURALO’s CROPP 2017 submission procedure will start immediately afterwards to respect the deadline. Your interest and applications are welcome! Thanks and best regards, Wolf EuroDIG Secretariat http://www.eurodig.org/ mobile +41 79 204 83 87 Skype: Wolf-Ludwig Swiss IGF http://swiss-igf.ch EURALO - ICANN's Regional At-Large Organisation http://euralo.org Profile on LinkedIn http://ch.linkedin.com/in/wolfludwig

Proposed Response to At-Large Review from RALOs
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond March 26, 2017

March 26, 2017

Dear EURALO members, after a long process which asked you to comment on the At-Large Review, including contributions from at least 30 people across all RALOs to the Google Doc, both on the Google Doc itself, but also by sending RALO Chairs comments by email, in English, Spanish and French, it appears that we have a pretty complete RALO response to the At-Large Review. The Google DOC is now turned to '"view only". Please email me if there is anything that stands out as being out of line. Altogether, it's a pretty impressive document considering we received input from dozens of people --- and not just the usual suspects. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DZLG-xM-WbyhI9LqAkS3pGZwvDjBI10h0xxYp5C… In my opinion, the process by which the input was received and the spontaneous response from ALSes is such that it is a testimony that the mixed RALO/ALS and RALO/individual user model is possible and actually works. A significant response is possible when a topic is close to the heart of our members. I have seen support for the ITEMS report elsewhere in ICANN. What has struck me as well is the outright emotional hostility shown by some of the commentators that have submitted comments to the public forum. What I have found sad is that the criticism that was wielded at At-Large was not constructive at all. Quite the contrary, it followed in the same hostile language and manner of the Review that I have neither found constructive nor helpful at all. I hope you'll recognise that the RALO response tries to be constructive. It is not as polished as the forthcoming ALAC response as by design, we kept verbatim extracts of the input received - so contributors can recognise their imprint on the document. The deadline for the comment to be submitted is tomorrow, 24 April 2017 at 23:59 UTC. I cannot urge you enough to submit your own comments directly with the commenting process. Full details are on: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/atlarge-review-draft-report-2017-02-0… RALO Chairs plan to get staff to submit the response (or to submit the response themselves) by the deadline tomorrow, with a note that the document is undergoing RALO ratification. In EURALO, I'd like to hear the choice how YOU want this document ratified by EURALO? 1. a consensus call? So anyone objecting to any of the responses can make themselves known, including the response they object to? 2. An anonymous vote on each of the responses - so any ALS can vote in support or against each of the responses 3. An anonymous vote on the Statement itself - so any ALS can vote in support or against the whole Statement without detailing the responses 4. Any other suggestion? Please respond as soon as possible, as if we are to conduct a vote, I'd like to keep the vote open for at least 5 working days. Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond EURALO Chair
