Dear
colleagues,
the European At-Large Organisation (EURALO) has held
its monthly call earlier this evening and after
holding a 1 minute silence in memory of Stéphane van
Gelder who has left us in tragic circumstances,
participants on the call fully supported the proposal
of a motion to be made by an ALAC member, for the ALAC
to decide to nominate Stéphane van Gelder for the
ICANN Ethos Award.
As you have seen in my previous email, I have
transmitted this request to the ALAC. In a consensus
call that just happened, the ALAC unanimously endorsed
this motion.
Since Stéphane was an individual member of EURALO, I
have also been asked by those present on the call, to
issue a 24H consensus call on the following motion:
"EURALO to support the
nomination of Stéphane van Gelder (SVG) for the
Multistakeholder Ethos Award to be announced in June
2018 at ICANN62 Panama City."
The Ethos Award nomination period has been extended to
28 March 2018 (
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-03-20-en
), thus there isn't enough time to hold a full vote of
our At-Large Structures (ALSes).
But a 24H consensus call is possible. If I do NOT
receive any OBJECTIONS by tomorrow Wednesday 28 March
2018, 20:00 UTC, I will submit a nomination on behalf
of EURALO to the Multistakeholder Ethos Award.
Kindest regards,
Olivier
