Dear all,
we are progressing with our planning for the next Belgrade GA end of May.
And the precise meeting time was confirmed by Vlada (the local organizer) now: On Sunday 18:00-20:00, EURALO General Assembly (GA), at the Sava conference Center.
The options for remote participation has still to be sorted out with the persons in charge -- and we will confirm this at a later stage.
Some of the EURALOers coming to Belgrade for the EuroDIG and our GA have suggested to group our members in the same hotel. According to the advice of Vlada, I have checked suitable / modest accommodation options and would like to suggest the cheapest one in the Center of Belgrade which is the
* Palace Hotel for 59.-- Euros the night/single room -- see: http://www.palacehotel.rs/home_e.php
Your Online reservation can be made via the following link: http://www.eurodig.rs/en/accommodation
To make sure that we can stay all at the same place, please care for your reservation ASAP.
Thanks and kind regards, Wolf

Wolf,
Sunday 18-20h for EuRALO meeting sounds good. At that time we should already have the VIP room available with roundtable for some 20pax, so that should work. At that time we will certainly be at the venue to work on tech and other things.
Re. remote, I am not currently sure on this. If you will need only the internet connection and you would manage everything else, this should be possible. If you would need a more complex thing, such as webex, I would suggest you liaise with Bernard on that; then we might see to set up this firstly for you on Sunday and then move to other rooms.
Re. accommodation, best is if you all agree to book the same hotel. Continental is next to the venue, is not as expensive as Hyatt but there are cheaper hotels in the city centre, such as Prag, Palace or Excelsior. All of them are decent, so you might decide based on price. All are listed on www.eurodig.rs and you may book online.
Let me know what else you might need.
Best!
Vlada

Dear Vlada,
here is a copy of my updates and questions regarding the EURALO GA in Belgrade.
Thanks and kind regards, Wolf

Dear Vlada,
as discussed before, EURALO progressed in the planning for its next General Assembly (GA) in line with the EuroDIG in Belgrade. I discussed with our members about suitable time slots to convene our GA without conflicting with the official program. The two options I was asking for were either on Sunday late afternoon / at the eve of EuroDIG or immediately afterwards on Tuesday afternoon. The majority of potential participants preferred option A on Sunday 29 May. We now need to fix a suitable time slot for it.
I guess, that you and some people from the local organizing team will be at the conference venue (Sava Center) on Sunday afternoon or early evening already for some last technical preparations. Do you think that a timing for our GA from 18:00 to 20:00 PM would be feasible or would you prefer an earlier option from 17:00 to 19:00 PM?
From the member feedback we got so far we know that we can approximately count on around 10 members who will come to the EuroDIG and joining our GA. Therefore we can manage with a smaller meeting room.
Another important question is remote participation - as many members won't have the means to come to Belgrade. As remote participation will be provided for most of the EuroDIG sessions, I guess there will be technical installations in place on Sunday PM already? Can we use such facilities for our GA as well? Otherwise, we need to organize other solutions with ICANN's At-Large Staff what would be more difficult and limited for remote participants.
For reasons of socialising, some members asked already for hotel capacities or if it would be possible to "group" EURALO members in the same hotel? Do you think this might be feasible as well? I guess that the Hyatt Regency and the Hotel Continental in the immediate vicinity oft he Sava Center will be probably too expensive for smaller volunteer budgets?
Thanks for any considerations and suggestions from your side and any support you and the local organizing team can provide for the conduct of our GA. See you soon and
kind regards, Wolf

Good afternoon:
Would I be mistaken in detecting a certain lack of interest in this matter . . . ?

Good afternoon:
May I draw your attention to the consultation about the ICANN Nominating Committee, below:
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-30apr11-en.htm
Indeed it is not evident how the ICANN Board could identify a single entity and a single individual to represent the global academic community world wide. (I recall that the seat was filled for a time, in the past, by <educause.edu>, although I may be mistaken. ) Consequently, I have some sympathy with the proposed amendment.
The proposed text is:
<<Deleted: c. An entity designated by the Board to represent academic and similar organizations;>>
However, the real question is how this newly vacant seat on NomCom will be re-allocated, or not. The original intention expressed in the ByLaws was that the academic user community world wide (there are quite a lot of them) would have a voice and a vote in this context.
From the At Large point of view, deletion of this seat will intrinsically shift the balance of opinion and votes in the NomCom away from the user interest, albeit not radically on this occasion. Accordingly, I would suggest that an appropriate re-allocation of the vacant seat be undertaken to maintain the present balance of opinion and votes in the ICANN Nominating Committee.
We may discuss - quickly - how this point might be made, either through the Chair of ALAC or the Chair of EURALO. Alternatively, I shall respond personally to the consultation before the deadline, 30 May, 2011.
Regards to you all,
Christopher Wilkinson ALS: ISOC-Wallonia
