Hello all, I was driven by the above messages (and by my legal background of course) to have a closer look to the bylaws again, So a few questions were invoked. First I am curious (it may be an ignorant question, but I prefer to receive clarity) whether EURALO is indeed registered under any legal system of any European country? As Art. 1.1. states "1 The Association bears the name “ICANN European Internet Users Forum” (hereinafter referred to as “The Association”) and shall be registered as required by law" So the question invoked is in order to clarify which law is in fact applicable or shall be applicable (when and if registered) to the Association. As per the current situation (if understand it correctly) - Euralo represents an association (if not registered) of organisations (legal persons themselves) which activity is followed by norms (bylaws) whose legal nature is quite uncertain. The Memorandum with ICANN is signed by single organisations, not by EURALO as a legal person. So I think that there is a point to ask clarifications on the legal basis. As per the other issues raised in the correspondence - I have some thoughts on these also: Wolf is referring to 11.5.9. of the Bylaws - so I was wondering whether the online voting for Secretariat in 2013 (after the GA in Lisbon) represents a GA itself under the meaning of 11.7 of the bylaws (pointing out specific requirements for a meeting online or other to be a GA) or not. I will appreciate your opinions and thoughts on the above. Once again - apologies if these issues were already addressed in some way among members. All the best, Plamena 2015-07-23 13:12 GMT+03:00 Oksana Prykhodko <sana.pryhod@gmail.com>:
Communication in this way can force me to stop discussion here, but can't force me to stop to act.

If there wouldn't be "any legal basis" like our Bylaws (Chair – see Art. 9.5 and 9.6 resp. Secretariat – see Art 11.5.9), you couldn't have been elected for the Secretariat end of May 2011 at the Belgrad GA ;-) The very fact that you were not reelected in June 2013 (run-off vote -- see Art. 11.20) doesn't support your sole opinion that there is "no legal basis".
And BTW, you had your chance to complain against me with the Ombudsman and your complaint was not approved by him. Repeating false assumptions is not helpful at all.
Best, Wolf

Dear Wolf,
Thank you very much for your "explanations". May be we need something more? Any legal basis, for example?

Hello,
as clearly explained at yesterday's call, the EURALO leadership or officers comprise two positions:
a) the Chair and b) the Secretariat (both two years terms) which need to be re-elected at the Dublin GA.
The call for nominations will we opened shortly by At-Large Staff.
Best, Wolf

Dear all,
Following our yesterday discussion, I would like to ask to clarify, for which positions we have to nominate?
I am sure that there is no doubt with nomination of Olivier for EURALO Chair.
What is the second position?
Best regards, Oksana
