First, congratulations to the whole people around EURALO, not only those who are elected, but participated, and maybe frustrated to some extent, but as someone wrote, you now have the outcome. I was elected as an ALAC from AP RALO in March before Lisbon meeting, from "interim" to more "legitimate" member, and now that we lost Vittorio, Wendy and kind of myself are only two "incumbents" squatting on ALAC. I am quite aware of this and looking for good rationale and also good exit. My rationale has been the quick and many turnovers, so many ALAC members have changed, giving some sort of instability, which is not all bad, but we at APRALO thought maintaining some stability be better. I am bit concerned that we may lose some "corporate memory" and that is another reason for me to stay. Given the ALAC review is coming, I think however radical we may try to change ALAC, and I am one of them to hope that to happen, I still like to share some lessons from the past, in order not to reinvent the wheels. Well, in any case, Thanks Vittorio for your many years of service especially as the first Chair, and for your hard work. We have a lot of homeworks, indeed. izumi 2007/5/25, Hawa Diakite <hawadiakite@gmail.com>:

Congratulations and welcome to our two new ALAC members Veronica and Sebastien!
And a lot of thanks for the work Vittorio has done!
Congratulations to all EURALO board members!
As Wolfgang pointed out: the time of work on substantial issues has started. Let us make a list of issues for our workplan including time lines.
All the best

First of all congratulations to all elected. We went through a complicated process but at the end of the day we have been sucessful to to build a structure and to elect a leadership for our EURALO and to give legitimacy to our two reps in the ALAC.
Looking at the results I am also happy that at the end of the day the principle of geographical and cultural diversity is reflected in the final outcome. I am also satisfied that we have a good balance of different institutions in the EURALO Board. This gives us a great opportunity to move now from the discussion of procedural issues to issues of substance. I am sure that this discussion will produce much more unity than we had in the procedural debate.
I would also invite Patrick, even if he was not elected, to give his energy and knowledge to the EURALO process. There is no need to have a position to give input to the process. And the at large community lives to a high degree from individual contributions.
Next step would be the drafting of a workplan. I would also encourage a discussion on a strategy paper with some mid-term goals and milestones. As you have seen there are two European ICANN meeting scheduled now fro 2008 and 2009. This should be seen as a challenge for EURALO not only to show the face but to bring fresh ideas and actions to the ICANN process.
Hope we have some time in San Juan to discuss the next concrete steps.
Best wishes
wolfgang

Dear All:
I'm pleased to report the results of the 2007 EURALO Elections.
ALAC COMMITTEE:
2-year Term: CRETU, Veronica 1-year Term: BACHOLLET, Sebastian
EURALO BOARD
Number of Seats Chosen: All Candidates (from a selection by ballot of 5, 7, 9, or all candidates)
Members Elected (in order of election, taking into account Bylaw requirement of nationality diversity with respect to first 5 seats)
HOFMANN, Jeannette LUDWIG, Wolf BERTOLA, Vittorio DE QUITO, Paco MILOSHEVIC, Desiree BRUCH, Christophe BANKS, Karen DRAKE, Bill VANSNICK, Rudi
Whilst Sebastian Bachollet and Veronica Cretu were also candidates for board seats, the elections process agreed on was that those elected to ALAC seats would not also occupy board seats, though they would be able to attend board meetings.
For those who wish to review the details of the election, and to ensure independent verification of the results published, the voting system provides a URL as follows:

The procedures related to the election can be found at:
https://st.icann.org/euralo/index.cgi?euralo_elections_2007
Since one-half of the EURALO board was to be elected every year, as per
the Bylaws for the region adopted in Lisbon, it was submitted for consideration by the ICANN staff that the top 1/2 (rounded to the nearest whole number) would serve a 2-year term, and the bottom 1/2 a 1-year term. Given the number of members of the board, that procedure would not resolve whether the top 4, or 5, would be serving 2-years. Perhaps the region will allow the board, in its first meeting, to decide this question.
On behalf of the staff of ICANN may I extend extend our congratulations
to the newly-elected officers and wish them the best in their new roles. I look forward to working with them all.
