I have talked to Veronica Cretu from Moldova and she accepted my proposal for a nominattion for the ALAC. I know her from the Diplo Foundation. She gave also a paper at the ICANN Studienkreis meeting in Prague, September 2006 (which was very good) and she is preparing the homework for an application of her institution as an ALS. Veronica was also at the IGF in Athens. Wolfgang What about our Finish friends? I would like to see a candidate for the EURALO Board from the North? I talked to Rikke Joergensen (Danish Institute für human Rights and very active in WSIS) but unfortunately she is busy with her dissertation. Probably a good candidate for 2008. More proposals will come until the end of the week. ________________________________ Von: euro-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org im Auftrag von Vittorio Bertola Gesendet: So 15.04.2007 23:10 An: Discussion for At-Large Europe Betreff: Re: [EURO-Discuss] Nominations Wolfgang Kleinwächter ha scritto:
Just back from the hospital I am struggling through 879 e-mails. I fully support Vittiorio´s approach. I have already contacted a number of potential candidates and will propose names later this week. Just for calrification: Each candidate needs somebody to second?
No, even self-nominations are fine.
And can people be candidates both for ALAC and EURALO board?
Yes. Until now, if I've not missed anything, this is the situation: Patrick Vande Walle -> ALAC (self-nomination) (accepted) Sebastien Bachollet -> ALAC (by Dessi) (?) Rudi Vansnick -> EURALO Board (self-nomination) (accepted) Vittorio Bertola -> EURALO Board (self-nomination) (accepted) Wolfgang Kleinwaechter -> EURALO Board (by Vittorio) (rejected) Personally, if I might throw some more names in, I'd like to nominate Christoph Bruch to the EURALO Board, if he feels like serving there. However, if the German ALSes want to have a discussion among themselves on a German person for the Board, that would be fine as well. Perhaps there could be two people from Germany, given how many German-speaking ALSes there are. Also, we need people from Eastern Europe, so I'd like to nominate Dessi Pefeva for either the ALAC or the EURALO Board, if she likes the idea. Finally, I'm wondering about other parts of Europe, for example Spain/Portugal and Scandinavia/Finland. It would be good to have people from there in the EURALO Board, and I don't know whether those who were present in Lisbon would be willing to serve. Please let's start getting more names on the table - we need more nominations! -- vb.
