Dear all, we received a call from the ALAC Chair recently on the Opening for Board Liaison Nominations Period for the position of the At-Large Liaison to the ICANN Board of Directors. This position is currently held by Wendy Seltzer, a law professor from the US who I had the pleasure to meet in February in New Delhi. For more details about Wendy and her background see http://wendy.seltzer.org/. Wendy was nominated now again by several members of the At-Large community. I would have preferred to discuss this issue at our meetings in Paris but the Nominations will close at 1800 UTC 16th June, 2008, and must be sent to the Public ALAC list – that means in about ten days and before our Paris reunions. If there are no other ideas from the EURALO community, I would like to support Wendy’s nomination but I prefer to do this with prior consultations of our Board members and the list. Please let me know your opinions on this issue within the next eight days whether we can express such a support in the name of EURALO. Thanks and regards, Wolf Cheryl Langdon-Orr wrote Mon, 2 Jun 2008 22:14:
