WG: EURALO Petition to extend the At-Large voting slate
by Wolf Ludwig Nov. 8, 2010

Nov. 8, 2010

Dear all, thanks for your participation and support on our recent request for your opinions on the options for a EURALO petition to extend the At Large slate. Until yesterday PM, we had the following result: Option A: Stefan, Annette, Werner, Rena, Wolfgang, Yjrö, Sandra, Wolf = 8; Option B: Patrick, Adam, Manuel, Rudi = 4; Option C: Dessi, Monique (Sébastien) = 2 (3). Christopher told me that as a BCEC member he prefers to abstain from positioning – what I understand and support. This means, we had a strong majority for petitioning (Options A and B). And it was difficult for Olivier and me to decide on our course of action among the two options. Therefore, we tried to find a compromise – to be as inclusive as possible – by sending our EURALO petition for two candidates: Avri Doria and Jean-Jacques Subrenat who explicitly asked us for support. The other suggested candidate for option B Jordi was not seeking contact and support from us. I hope that our final compromise and course of action is acceptable for all those (12 members) at least who expressed themselves for petitioning. Please be aware that the member consultation for the directed vote of the Chair in this matter will start soon, and I am counting on a strong participation and your support again. Thanks and kind regards, Wolf Wolf Ludwig wrote Sun, 07 Nov 2010 16:09: >Dear Fatima, >Dear Hong, >Dear Andrés, >Dear Evan, >Dear RALO members > >As you may be aware, there is an agreed procedure that EURALO members will be >consulted over the next weeks to vote on their preferred candidates to enable a >directed vote to the EURALO Chair.

Your opinion needed on our course of action!
by Wolf Ludwig Nov. 8, 2010

Nov. 8, 2010

Dear all, as you may have realised (according to our previous mailings), there was much and controversial discussion on the recent Announcement of At-Large selected voting Board Director candidates and the fact that the EURALO suggested candidate (Avri Doria) was not considered. The EURALO Board is therefore discussing to take action and to petition on behalf of her -- and perhaps other suitable candidates from Europe who were not considered neither. We now need to know your opinions and comments on the following course of action – on the three options: a. EURALO to include petition for Avri ONLY. b. EURALO to include petition for Avri AND other qualified European candidates like Jean-Jacques Subrenat and Jordi Palet Martinez. c. EURALO not to petition at all. As we are under considerable time constraints and have to act until Sunday (7 November) latest, your comments are welcome and can be taken into account until tomorrow afternoon (15:00). Thanks for your support and kind regards, Wolf comunica-ch phone +41 79 204 83 87 Skype: Wolf-Ludwig www.comunica-ch.net Digitale Allmend http://blog.allmend.ch - EURALO - ICANN's Regional At-Large Organisation http://euralo.org

Notice of administrative error in posting of two SOIs for At-Large Board Director
by ICANN At-Large Staff Nov. 6, 2010

Nov. 6, 2010

Dear All, Due to an administrative error, the statement of interest of John Yunker (available at: At-Large <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/2265195/At-Large+Director+…> Director Applicant - John Yunker.pdf) for the position of the At-Large selected Board Director was not posted on the At-Large Director Candidate Workspace (see: https://community.icann.org/display/DirCan/At-Large+Director+Candidate+2010…) along with the other applicants that had not been selected for the slate of candidates on 28 October. At the same time, the statement of interest of Ahmad Al‐Shagra, which the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee had judged to be too incomplete to merit further consideration prior to its first round of evaluations, was posted in error. The error has now been corrected on the At-Large Director Candidate Workspace. Please note that this administrative error occurred after the slate of candidates was announced on 28 October. The BCEC reviewed John Yunker’s SOI during their selection process. Staff have informed both parties and the BCEC. We sincerely apologize for this oversight. Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Seth Greene, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, Kristina Nordström ICANN At-Large Staff
