Hi all, We would like to second Vladimir's proposals: - Wolf for the Chair, and - Oksana for the Secretariat - not necessarily from the point of view of regional balance, but mainly for her work so far and her experience in the IG issues. (and hope she would be able to come to the Lisbon meeting) At the same time, after some discussions within our association and with other associations members of EDRi (as you might know ApTI is a member of European Digital Rights - EDRi) we would like to refrain (even indirectly) from supporting the work that Together against Cybercrime (TaC) and Yulia has been involved lately - and I mean here especially participation in: - the CleanIT project (A very unclear project that was trying to push for voluntary blocking by ISPs and other crazy measures http://www.cleanitproject.eu/partners-and-participants/) and - the Licences for Europe - user-generated content consultations (where it was the only representative of the "user" groups that, in fact, turns out that they supported the music industry suggestions). Of course, any NGO is free to do whatever they want, but we, as ApTI, feel that it should be clear that EURALO and its representatives really support Internet users interests in all their activities and especially work for protecting their rights in the digital world. Please note that I have never met personally Yulia, so don't take this personally in any way (or as anything of this sort), but we just feel that these principles need to be discussed in the GA in Lisbon before any vote. Also, I feel like I need to make this statement here, as, unfortunately, I won't be in the Lisbon GA and Adela, the primary contact for ApTI in EURALO, just changed her job and will not be able to take care of the IG issues in ApTI in the future. FYI, we will have a colleague going to the Lisbon GA, but she is young and inexperienced, so I don't want to put her to explain such a complicated issue as the one above. PS: Of course, we would also support Veronica and Olivier for their positions Best regards -- Bogdan Manolea Director Executiv Asociatia pentru Tehnologie si Internet - ApTI +40 721 205 603 www.apti.ro On 06/07/2013 03:36 PM, Vladimir Kukovsky wrote:
Dear all,
proposals for the Lisbon elections:
a) the Chair: I would like to support for Wolf Ludwig nomination;
b) the Secretariat: I would like to nominate for Oksana Prykhodko (the incumbent). Oksana uses each opportunity to share information on ICANN/At-Large/EURALO, to promote the concept of multistakeholderism, to build personal contacts between key actors across the borders. Ukrainian Internet Association focuses its activity on transparency and accountability of all IG processes, and that is why we support efforts of EMP to translate and explain ICANN-related information into Russian/Ukrainian, to work on capacity building, to encourage more active involvement of end users in Internet governance. East Europe is underrepresented in EURALO, that is why it is important to keep our representative in EURALO Board from the point of view of regional balance. So, I would like to nominate for the Secretariat Oksana Prykhodko.

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: [1]https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/The+current+EURALO+Board
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

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): [2]http://www.altishotels.com/EN/ and [3]https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+ALSes+Representatives+t
o+the+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 EURALO’s key themes and priorities, and how to improve and strengthen our member’s involvement in regular activities. Your suggestions for the agenda parts are welcome! See: [4]https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/2013+EURALO+General+Assembly
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 don’t 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: [5]http://www.eurodig.org/eurodig-2012/information/registration Thanks for your support and I am pleased to welcome most of you soon in Lisbon.
