Good decision. The only thing is whether the questions are on topic. Questions that are off topic will not be considered. Kind regards, Olivier

Eric used to be part of NARALO as an individual member, He resigned from that and now is a member of an ALS. He is not entitled to vote as an ALS leader, but he is still part of the global At-Large community as a member of an ALS. This is the situation as I understand. I hope that makes the situation clear, - Evan On 6 March 2014 12:22, Tijani BENJEMAA <tijani.benjemaa(a)topnet.tn> wrote: > Olivier, > > > > Can people outside of the At-Large community ask questions to the > candidates? > > My question was to know if Eric is part of the At-Large community.

WG: ICANN Board candidate (Seat 15) Regional consultations – your presentations
by Wolf Ludwig March 4, 2014

March 4, 2014

Dear all, our regional consultation on the ICANN Board candidate (Seat 15) selection process will start next week (see my circular mail on this list from 25/02/2014 23:33:14). Yesterday, I invited the five candidates to forward a brief summary of their EOI to our members for consideration –- what Jean-Jacques Subrenat did already earlier today. Below please find the Summary and presentation from Evan Leibovitch from NARALO for your information. More summaries from candidates are announced and will follow these days. Kind regards, Wolf _______ Evan Leibovitch wroteTue, 4 Mar 2014 14:31: >Wolf, I thank you for the opportunity to present a summarized version of my >candidacy; I enclose it below.

ICANN Board candidate (Seat 15) selection process and proxy vote
by Wolf Ludwig Feb. 26, 2014

Feb. 26, 2014

Dear all, as discussed at our (well attended) monthly call tonight – agenda item 8 -, there are some URGENCIES for our region over the next weeks regarding the ICANN Board candidate (Seat 15) selection and voting consultations among our members. A first Announcement: At-Large Board Director Slate of Candidates Selected by the BCEC and Next Steps was sent to this list by At-Large Staff on 28 January to give you a first overview about the five candidates. Further to this, one of our ALAC members who are part of the electorate is personally involved as one of the candidates (Jean-Jacques Subrenat) and needs to be replaced for the voting –- for more details see: https://community.icann.org/display/ABMS/At-Large+Board+Member+2014+Selecti… As discussed tonight, we would like to ask you for suggestions of names to replace Jean-Jacques Subrenat in the upcoming voting. As the timeframe is short for this (4th March) you can name suitable replacements until Friday this week (28 February midnight). If we receive more than one suggestion, we have to conduct a majority vote until the beginning of next week on EURALO’s proxy vote. As it is difficult to assume how many of our members will contribute within a few days, let me suggest that a simple majority of those who respond will count. According to the narrow timeline of the Board Member Selection process, we need to conduct our regional consultation on the five candidates until Sunday, 16 March (!) – to allow the Chair (who is part of the electorate as well) a *directed vote from our community*, as we did in 2010 during the first Board Member Selection process. Based on the experience from 2010, there won’t be a winner in the first round vote (starting from 16 March) and we may need to conduct a 2nd regional consultation on the final candidates early April. I am aware that this is a challenging schedule for EURALO again but – as in the past – our members should have a say in this important selection process for Seat 15 again. Your support for this is much appreciated! If you have any further questions, please let me know. Thanks and kind regards, Wolf EuroDIG Secretariat http://www.eurodig.org/ mobile +41 79 204 83 87 Skype: Wolf-Ludwig EURALO - ICANN's Regional At-Large Organisation http://euralo.org Profile on LinkedIn http://ch.linkedin.com/in/wolfludwig
