Dear all, as some of you might remember, we conducted repeated consultations for the s/election of the At-Large Board director (Seat No. 15 – currently Sébastien) in autumn 2010. I still believe that this generic consultation process at EURALO at the time was sort of a best practice to allow the RALO Chair (as part of the electorate) a guided or directed vote based on the (majority) will of his community. Recently, a discussion on such procedures and principles has started on the ALAC list and Avri Doria, member of EURALO, gave a short briefing on the issue at our monthly call last night. For those who have not been on the call (or want a detailed briefing on it), here is the link to the position paper from Avri „At-Large suffrage request to RALOs“ what will be raised and discussed again at our next monthly calls – see: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/40175601/Avri.pdf?version=1... Your questions or comments on the issue are welcome! IMO, EURALO should not go behind its procedure and practice from last time, and we should reflect how broad-based community participation on such an important issue could be improved or guaranteed? Thanks for your consideration and comments, kind regards, Wolf P.
