EURALO members - Call for Candidates to join the the At-Large gTLD Applications Review Group (gARG)- Open until 30th June 2026
by ICANN At-Large Staff June 11, 2026

June 11, 2026

Email sent on behalf of the co-chairs of the ALAC Objections Small team, Hannah Frank and Dev Anand Teelucksingh Dear EURALO members, As ICANN launches the New gTLD Program: 2026 Round, the ALAC is seeking members of the At-Large Community to join the At-Large gTLD Applications Review Group (gARG). Your participation helps ensure that new Top Level Domains (TLDs) align with the public interest and protect the rights of global communities. Background The New gTLD Program: 2026 Round gives businesses, communities, governments and other organizations the chance to apply for new top-level domains. (See https://newgtldprogram.icann.org/ [newgtldprogram.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/newgtldprogram.icann.org/__;!!PtGJab4!44…> ). The general public has the opportunity to file an objection to a gTLD application for a fee. Such objections are considered before a panel which adjudicates on whether an application can proceed or not. During this round, funding is available to the ALAC to file objections to gTLD applications in the New gTLD Program : 2026 Round on two grounds: * Community Objection – There is substantial opposition to the gTLD application from a significant portion of the community to which the gTLD string may be explicitly or implicitly targeted and Limited Public Interest Objection – The applied-for gTLD string is contrary to generally accepted legal norms of morality and public order that are recognized under principles of international law * Limited Public Interest Objection – The applied-for gTLD string is contrary to generally accepted legal norms of morality and public order that are recognized under principles of international law -------------------------- About the gTLD Applications Review Group (gARG) The gARG is a At-Large Working Group composed of 12-15 members representing all five Regional At-Large Organisations (RALOs). The main goal of the gARG is to streamline how the ALAC and At-Large Community submits comments and file objections to new gTLD applications that raise public interest or community concerns. Key Responsibilities of the gARG As a member of the gARG, you will play a key role in the ALAC’s bottom up development of comments on, and objections to gTLD applications. Your duties will include: * Helping identify gTLD applications that raise community or limited public interest concerns * Raising and discussing such concerns at At-Large calls and email lists for further discussion; * Preparing official comments on behalf of At-Large for ALAC approval and submission to ICANN Application Comment Forum. * Monitoring responses to comments and recommending whether concerns should be escalated to formal Community Objections or Limited Public Interest Objections * Monitoring responses to any filed objections and if dismissed, recommend whether to file an appeal and draft the necessary Appeal Statement. ------------------------ gARG Membership Requirements To ensure the gARG can effectively advocate for At-Large, members should: * Have an understanding of the ICANN New gTLD Program: 2026 Round and a familiarity with the New gTLD Program: 2026 Round Applicant Guidebook at https://newgtldprogram.icann.org/en/application-rounds/round2/agb [newgtldprogram.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/newgtldprogram.icann.org/en/application-…> * Understand the ALAC Procedure for Filing Comments and Objections in the New gTLD Program: 2026 Round at https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/DwBAD [icann-community.atlassian.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/DwB…> * Have an updated At-Large Statement of Interest (SOI) page. * Have strong proficiency in English for drafting comments and objections * Be engaged in their RALO, as they are expected to participate in RALO calls and RALO email discussions about gTLD applications and potential concerns and to bring this back to the gARG. * Be Free from any actual or perceived Conflicts of Interest. You cannot serve if you are publicly supporting a specific gTLD application, have a financial interest in an applicant, or have a family member employed by an applicant. -------------------------- Expected Level of Commitment gARG Members should expect an active workload during the 104-day Application Comment and Objection Period, including weekly calls and regular engagement via email and shared workspaces ,whilst still participating in RALO calls and email discussions. -------------------------- Why your participation matters This is a unique opportunity for At-Large members to directly contribute to the evaluation of new gTLD applications and ensure that end-user and community perspectives are taken into account. Participation in the gARG helps shape how At-Large engages in one of the most important processes of the Next Round. --------------------- IMPORTANT - Open until 30th June 2026 *How to submit your expression of interest to join the gARG**** If you have understood the gARG requirements and are willing, please ensure your At-Large Statement of Interest form is up to date (email At-Large Staff at staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> if you don’t have a SOI page). Next, please complete the form at https://forms.gle/aXZvQjYgvBzSoMTk6 [forms.gle]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/aXZvQjYgvBzSoMTk6__;!!PtGJab4!…> . At-Large Staff will acknowledge receipt of your expression of interest, ccing your RALO leadership that your application has been received. Thank you. Kind regards, Hannah Frank and Dev Anand Teelucksingh Co-chairs of the ALAC Objections Small team

Dear Colleagues, FYI --- I would highly recommend that you read through the Messages from Brussels. As a reminder, ICANN and EURALO are EuroDIG Institutional Partners. ICANN is also a sponsor of EuroDIG. Plus, EURALO, with ICANN, sponsored a YouthDIG dinner which literally brought a lot of young people to the EURALO table.

The EuroDIG Messages are the primary outcome of each meeting, reflecting the inputs and discussions from every session. As such, they provide a European multistakeholder perspective on a wide range of digital policy issues. At this year’s EuroDIG in Brussels, sessions addressed topics ranging from trustworthy AI and digital sovereignty to online safety, platform accountability, and the future of digital rights. At the conclusion of each session, rapporteurs presented a first draft of the messages to participants, incorporated feedback from the audience, and sought (rough) consensus from the participants. The messages were subsequently refined by the Organising Teams. Participants of YOUThDIG, EuroDIG’s youth programme, also drafted messages during their sessions to reflect the policy perspectives and contributions of the next generation. These Youth Messages form part of the official EuroDIG output. All 2026 Messages are available on the *EuroDIG website* <https://www.eurodig.org/eurodig-2026/messages-from-brussels/> and the *EuroDIG Wiki <https://eurodigwiki.org/wiki/Consolidated_programme_2026>*.

Re: EURO-Discuss Digest, Vol 236, Issue 6
by Natalia Filina June 8, 2026

June 8, 2026

Dear Roberto, hi! Thanks for the focus of attention. Guess many of us will agree with me - EURALO is a very good example of being very welcoming for the next generation and new members. I fully support you and my colleagues and say that this year's EURALO plans are to hold a round table based on selected NextGen project topics and with the involvement of NextGen & experts from the region to discuss the proposed topics, important for the European region and end users. It seems to me that this idea, which is already in the plan of implementation, is a good continuation of the dialogue, emphasizing attention to ideas and involvement in communication on a practical level.

NextGen@ICANN
by Roberto Gaetano June 7, 2026

June 7, 2026

Dear all, Unfortunately, I will not be able to join ICANN86 in Sevilla, but I will attend remotely most of it. I would like to draw your attention, in particular to - but not limited to - those of you attending in person to the sessions that involve NextGen participants. I believe that it is of the paramount importance to meet with younger generations, not just for our benefit in understanding better how newcomers view the ICANN ecosystem, but also to make them feel that this community is eager to meet them and to communicate. In particular let me draw your attention to the following sessions: * Tuesday 9 June @ 11:45 local time - NextGen Presentations (1 of 2) - see https://icann86.sched.com/event/ba0071ace508527f2214677a1326b06e * Wednesday 10 June @ 10:00 local time - EURALO meets NextGen - see https://icann86.sched.com/event/ba775bb2becf9dd943061b12957fb733 * Wednesday 10 June @ 11:45 local time - NextGen Presentations (2 of 2) - see https://icann86.sched.com/event/0e44be94d79c12c8f155a4ac2d4525c3 The additional benefit this time is that the ICANN meeting is held in Europe, and therefore the NextGen-ers are European or living in Europe. Please see the list of NextGen@ICANN86 participants at https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-announces-nextgenicann… Some of you have been NextGen-ers, so you can explain better than me the importance of facilitating the introduction of new people to our community. I have been always convinced that the RALO Individual Membership can be a good first step to become involved with practical work, even if later you decide that your place is in a different Supporting Organization, Constituency, or Advisory Committee. Also, needless to say, while it is important to meet the NextGen participants during the sessions, don’t underestimate the value of having an informal chat with them at the social events! Cheers, Roberto

Dear Roberto, Thank you for brininging this up. You remind me we need to constantly put effort into newcomer engagement. As a recent newcomer myself, I came up with the Buddy project I would like to start piloting, and received amazing feedback from the EURALO community, as well as my mentor Glen. The idea is to build pairs of people with similar interests and backgrounds so they can learn alongside, and is based on my outtakes from the Policy Development Accelerator. Here you can see the working draft: The file is open for anyone to edit (password: EURALO). https://cryptpad.fr/doc/#/2/doc/edit/M-KiJoLaO4-DFv1-5u39vIe7/p/ To everyone, if you see any new faces whose profile can be matched with anyone who also joined recently and might want to become a buddy, please let me know so we can connect them! Frederic, would you it be possible if I could have 3 minutes at the Wednesday session to encourage participation? Thank you!!

How Should EURALO Evolve to Remain Fit for Purpose?
by Pari Esfandiari May 30, 2026

May 30, 2026

Dear EURALO Board and EURALO Members, As we review EURALO’s governance documents to ensure they reflect recent developments within the ICANN ecosystem and remain aligned with applicable law, this is an opportunity to consider whether aspects of our structure and processes should be updated. Community input on the following issues would be greatly appreciated: *1. Board Structure* The EURALO Articles of Association currently allow the Board to consist of as few as *two members*. *Should a larger Board (e.g., 5–15 members)* be considered to support broader representation and diversity of perspectives? *2. Terms and Leadership Rotation* The current framework does not clearly address term limits or consecutive terms. Should EURALO consider *two-year terms with a maximum of three consecutive terms* for Board members, officers, and ALAC representatives? *3. Constitutional Changes* Constitutional amendments currently require a two-thirds majority. Should EURALO consider a higher threshold (e.g.,* three-quarters*) for fundamental governance changes? *4. ALS and Individual User Representation* Individual Users currently participate through the EURALO Individual Users’ Association, which holds a single vote similar to an ALS. *Should voting weight reflect the number of participants represented, or should all ALSes and recognized structures continue to have equal voting rights*? *5. Dispute Resolution* Should EURALO establish a clearer *internal dispute resolution process* before matters are escalated to the ICANN Ombudsman or other external mechanisms? These governance choices will help shape EURALO's future. I would welcome your views and whether there is support for a broader consultation, such as a questionnaire or community poll.
