Dessi, apologies for not replying sooner. About the liaison election. There wasn't time to discuss this on the last ALAC monthly call, Tuesday this week, a special call will be held sometime next week to agree the schedule, but the proposal is online (google docs) <http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Af3UHLFaPAHHZGYyM2IzZmJfM2diOTJzZ2c0&hl=en...> and comments on the ALAC meeting agenda page <https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?28_july_2009> Comments essentially suggest we need more time to complete the process, but the ALAC has not discussed so these are just individual's opinions. Process is particularly important (board liaison is of course anyway an important position) as the procedure being proposed is intended as a trial of something that might be used when At Large gets to select/elect voting board members. EURALO should begin preparing how it will make selections, and perhaps begin thinking about names. Who would like to put their name forward as board liaison, anyone? It's a lot of work! Other ongoing issues: Alan Greenberg has drafted a ALAC and ALAC liaison position description <https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi/index.cgi?draft_alac_pd>. This is part of the effort to ensure ALAC members and liaisons do the work expected of them. The starting point is this job description. You can add comments direct to the page, or we can discuss on the call. A public comment period has just ended on new GNSO stakeholder charters. As Bill Drake's email of a few days ago mentions <http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/euro-discuss_atlarge-lists.icann.or...> there's been some disagreement over the non-commercial stakeholder group charter, the stakeholder group most relevant to At Large. The comment period is now closed, but I think EU-RALO should consider whether it supports the Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) proposal <http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/ncsg-proposed-petition-charter-22jun09...>, what improvements/changes are needed, etc. There will be opportunities to comment further before or during the Seoul meeting. I would also like to know if any ALS have been active in IDN issues, perhaps ISOC Bulgaria or KEPKA, or if other members have an interest in IDNs. AP-RALO is concerned about ICANN's current proposals, particularly regarding variants (see <http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090720_icann_tld_policy_imposes_constraint_i...> for a paper that explains some of the issues from a Chinese/Japanese/Korean script perspective) Are there similar concerns for Greek and Cyrillic?

Sorry if you are receiving this for a second time - I am not sure the first one it reached you. Dessi
Dear All,
I would like to remind you about some of the important things we need to discuss during the next EURALO Teleconference.
Two things I want to draw your attention to: 1. The announcement of the upcoming Liaison elections call - Once the ALAC Chair has sent the official 'Election Call' for the very important Board Liaison election, each Region will be requested to forward the names of nominees that have been endorsed by the RALOs and their member ALSes to the public At-Large list within 14 days of the candidates' 'registration' as required by the ALAC ROPs. Nominees should be of the highest possible stature and possess exceptional capabilities, energy, and enthusiasm so as to effectively contribute to the future development of the ALAC.
We need to discuss nomination/s from the EURALO region. This is already item 3 in our Agenda.
2. Participation in EuroDig and EURALO leaflet - item 4 of the Agenda I have created a file with some pointers about the leaflet, we started creating. It is a very short and basic tool to give us an idea of what we are creating and is this what we want. You should read it together with the brochure and see whether the brochure text is actually fulfilling the purposes in the table. The file is uploaded at the page of the teleconf: https://st.icann.org/data/workspaces/euralo/attachments/04_august_2009:2009 0728145913-0-11353/original/Euralo%2520leaflet%2520projec%2520description.do c The combined version of the leaflet is also available at the meeting page: https://st.icann.org/data/workspaces/euralo/attachments/04_august_2009:2009 0728145904-1-10672/original/EURALO- flyer_ver.2.0.doc
Please have a moment to read the pointer file and the version of the leaflet and provide your valuable feedback! In order to have a printed version on time for the autumn events, we need to approve a final text and format and sent it to staff as soon as possible.
Thank you and talk to you soon. Warm regards, Dessi
