Dear all, thank you for the announcement.
With this email I would like to express my great support to 3 candidates for Board members:

Claire-Mélanie Popineau (Eclairement)
Lutz Donnerhacke (Fitug e.V.)
Steinar Grøtterød (ISOC NO)

With this email, I also kindly ask EURALO Chair, Sebastien Bachollet, to consider the possibility of forming a Ad-Hoc working group in the very near future to complete the ROP and include clarifying the selection criteria for any official positions of the EURALO and the need to provide a statement of interests from applicants (with a point "reason to believe") for everyone who applies to participate in the elections within EURALO.

These criterias of prohibition of approving candidates, can be:

lack of visible work activity and real participation in EURALO, At-Large work,
creation of conflicts (documented and with evidence, especially with involving the Ombudsman more than 1 time, and involving ICANN Board members for attempts at clumsy apologies),
sabotaging the adoption of very important working decisions for EURALO,
sabotaging of approval the internal working documents without participating of creation these,
lack of ethics of communication, violation of the rules of conduct,
constant opposition to the presence of representatives of other nations inside EURALO, At-Large, ICANN (what choose a word - nationalism or extremism?),
the absence of any reports after attending events funded by ICANN (with the budget allocated to the EURALO),
long-term open fight with community leaders and members,
the creation of a negative image of EURALO outside and inside it,
an unsubstantiated accusation of the community in the absence of legitimacy and democracy.

These rules also need to outline the criteria by which Board members can be removed from their activities and replaced with more worthy ones.

The purpose of updating the ROP:
The Board and management of RALO will include people with an equal and high level reputation and self-organization, with real results of activities within the community, playing a key role for enhancing the community.

This will allow EURALO to flourish, and to minimize the participation in key processes of people who seek to degrade, but for some reason do it within our community.

With this email I would like to once again draw the attention of Euralo members to the possibility of participating in the work and coordinating the activities of EURALO, At-Large. This is a very positive, privilege, great opportunity to follow our mission and strengthen our work, regardless of whether you hold an official position here or not.

We have a lot of active, positive people (new ones too!), and I want to thank you on behalf of the EURALO Board for your active work and a very productive, nice 2023 year together.

Happy holidays to all of you!

Sincerely,

Natalia Filina

Secretary of EURALO

Message sent on behalf of EURALO’s Chair and Secretariat

Dear EURALO members,

The current EURALO Board term ends on 9 December 2023. EURALO's Chair and Secretariat would like to announce a call for nominations to fill https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Board+2023-2025+Workspace for the next 2 years (10 December 2023 – end of ICANN AGM 2025). This call is made in accordance with the https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/Procedures+and+Policies?preview=/16843067/120820581/EURALO Bylaws draft 10-06-2019 FINALv5-clean (1).pdf, the https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Information:+Governance,+Leaders+and+Members?preview=/186779828/284950756/20231128_EURALO_RoP_signed.pdf (ROP) and https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_download_attachments_53777046_Performance-2Dcriteria-5FBoard-5FSecretariat.pdf-3Fversion-3D1-26modificationDate-3D1444426126000-26api-3Dv2&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=ds9md1zoepmwqw2nfk-Vs9ssxn1I3jPs97ekKkctEkM&m=uH6rhLVHXzz1YfhbIQlJ_-Iu_Wj1boE4MDzX1ExE9CQ&s=CsKYExIOA6aUn5tQkz9Uixkgq6qlEDJF7Q9n-yVTvic&e=.

Please note the current Board will remain in place until the new Board is elected.

In addition, there is a need for Board members as a whole, to share responsibilities with the EURALO Chair and Secretariat in assuming the following topics:

1. Legal issues

2. Policy Development

3. Communication including leading the work on the EURALO website/WIKI/Facebook page.

4. Outreach with communities outside ICANN

Please note the rules and agreements applicable to this election (see document attached). In accordance with these agreements, kindly note:

1. The size of the EURALO Board will be 2-5 members, plus ex-officio, the EURALO Chair and EURALO Secretary;

2. There should be a maximum limit of 1 Board member per country;

3. As is the usual custom in votes involving people, votes will take place by secret ballot;

4. The Board will be selected for a two-years-term; not performing Board members can be recalled after one year to allow to be replaced by better candidates.

The EURALO Board should be balanced but EURALO has not reached a consensus on having direct absolute criteria for geographical (East/Western Europe) or gender criteria. As geographical and gender balance are important in our region, we ask you to consider these issues when making your selection.

Please submit your nominations and self-nominations from Thursday 30 November 2023 until Thursday 7 December 2023 at 23:59 UTC by sending an email to the EURALO mailing list and copying At-Large staff mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org. All candidates who accept their nominations by the deadline above must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).

The online vote will start on Friday 08 December 2023 until Friday 15 December 2023 at 23:59 UTC.

At-Large Staff will note the nominations on the following Wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Board+2023-2025+Workspace

Thank you for your active participation in this election process!

Kind regards,

Gisella
