Dear all, I would like to thank Annette for the nomination that I'm happy to accept. Thank you also to all for your confidence and support. That I might be a "new face" for some members of the community, here below is my very short bio and the explanation of the acceptance of the nomination for the Secretariat of Euralo. Thank you for the support and best regards, Yuliya SHORT BIOGRAPHY Today, Yuliya leads a non-for-profit organisation TaC-Together against Cybercrime Int. and is an expert of a number of international organisations on cybercrime and cybersecurity. She advises governments and private sector entities on cybersecirity strategies. Yuliya co-initiated such projects as: Working group on better participation of vulnerable groups in the Information Society or the Empowerment of vulnerable children online. Yuliya is a MAG member of IGF. She is an Associate professor at Strasbourg University and is a former Deputy Head of the Unit on Cybercrime at the Council of Europe. She is Graduate from the Institute of Political Sciences of Paris and also holds a Master degree in European Affairs and the L.L.M. on Internet Law. Born in Odessa (Ukraine), Yuliya lived in Russia and the United States and grew up in France and Germany. She is fluent in Russian, French, English, with good knowledge of Ukrainian and Greek and limited skills in German and Spanish. WHY ACCEPT THE NOMINATION FOR THE SECRETARIAT OF EURALO? Yuliya believes in multistakeholder Model and dialogue as the way for action. She also thinks that lack of dialogue often comes from lack of information at all levels, which affects the efficiency of possible actions. By creating bridges and delivering information to users and from users to policy-makers, in other words, by applying multistakeholder model at all levels, the action can reach and answer concrete needs and expectations of users. She believes that Euralo is the community that can assist the European society in reinforcing bridges in the field of Internet governance by making the voice of users heard by different stakeholders and vice versa, which will make the action meet the needs and the needs ask for action. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wolf Ludwig" To: Cc:"Oliver Passek" , "At-Large Staff" , "Annette Mühlberg" Sent:Sat, 15 Jun 2013 00:19:40 +0200 Subject:[EURO-Discuss] WG: Nomination Acceptance / Final preparations for Lisbon GA Dear all, the nomination period for EURALO Officers closed by today. And this is just to confirm that I *accept* the nomination by Annette below. I would like to thank Annette and all other supporters for their confidence expressed by this.

Dear Wolf, dear all,
sorry for answering that late, but I just realized that the second part of your mail is about nominations for the GA-elections in Lisbon. I would have expected to see a seperate nomination announcement by staff. But as I understand the nominations have been opened since the 27th of May.
For the elections in Lisbon -- see draft agenda (point B 9) -- I would like to nominate for a) the Chair: Wolf Ludwig (the incumbent) and for b) the Secretariat: Yulya Morenets (new - from TaC, France) and c) the Board: the current Board members (if they wish to continue or being partly replaced by new members) -- see: https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/The+current+EURALO+Board [1]
Personally I would like to continue on the Board. I am aware that due to my involvement in the Enquête-Commission of the German Parliament I had not much capacities left for EURALO, but as the work of the Enquête-Commission has been completed last month, I would like to contribute more to EURALO again.
All the best
Annette

we just completed our last monthly call before the upcoming Lisbon GA in June and discussed some last organisational points (among others).
Please note: Hotel rooms are booked for all registered participants for 19-20 June or two nights at the Altis hotel (what is the EURALO GA and EuroDIG venue): http://www.altishotels.com/EN/ [3] and
https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+ALSes+Representatives+to+t [4] he+2013+GA
As you may have noticed, I circulated a draft of the Board report 2012-13 FYI today what needs to be approved as a regular part of our GA.
We are on the way to finalize our Agenda for Lisbon with three parts: a) a formal one reflecting usual Bylaw requirements (quorum, report and re-/elections of officers) b) key and intro speakers (Sébastien, Nigel and Olivier) and c) the *content part* on org. assessment (strength and weaknesses), definition of EURALO¹s key themes and priorities, and how to improve and strengthen our member¹s involvement in regular activities.
Your suggestions for the agenda parts are welcome! See:
https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/2013+EURALO+General+Assembly [5]
As we need to conduct re-/elections for Officers and functions at the Lisbon GA (see point 6 of the Board report), we need to follow some procedural requirements fixed in our Bylaws. The regional officer selections will be held at the GA, the proposed schedule, Draft Election Timetable is as follows:
1. Nominations Open: 27 May 2. Nominations Close: 14 June 3. Nomination Acceptance by candidates: On or before 18 June 4. Listing of candidates for the GA: Between 18-19 June 5. Voting Results announced: 19 June at the GA and meeting minutes.
Last but not least: Please don¹t forget to get registered for EuroDIG what you have to do by yourself ASAP (some of you did already) to provide some planning security for the organizers see: http://www.eurodig.org/eurodig-2012/information/registration [6]
Thanks for your support and I am pleased to welcome most of you soon in Lisbon.
Kind regards, Wolf
