Dear Alan, dear all, I have a question for *Sebastien Bachollet:* *What are your main achievements and main failures as EURALO Chair (2019 - 2025)?* Thank you very much in advance, Kind regards, Oksana On Fri, 6 Feb 2026 at 12:25, Pari Esfandiari via EURO-Discuss < euro-discuss@icann.org> wrote:
Dear Alan and all,
Following up on our discussion last week, I have edited the questions accordingly and would like to propose the following two questions for the candidate interviews:
1.
*In the context of rising geopolitical tensions, where digital sovereignty claims increasingly lead to Internet shutdowns and fragmentation, how should the ICANN Board respond?* 2.
*How central is bottom-up decision-making to ICANN’s legitimacy, and what role, if any, should the Board play in safeguarding it from becoming merely performative?*
I welcome your feedback and suggestions.
Best regards, Pari

As you may know, Leon Sanchez is term-limited as the ICANN Director Selected by At-Large and the process to name his replacement is ongoing.
The candidates are (in alphabetical order by surname): Sebastien Bachollet, Justine Chew, Maureen Hilyard and Lito (Rafael) Ibarra.
The candidate’s Statements as well as their Expressions of Interest (their application forms) have been posted.
- Candidate Statements <https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ABMS/pages/770211889/2025-...> - Expressions of Interest <https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ABMS/pages/760020998/2025-...>
There will be two public ways to interact with the candidates.
- You may ask questions that will be answered in writing and posted. Questions may be targeted at all candidates, or particular candidates. Candidates are not obliged to respond, but historically, they do. Questions may be merged with others if they are on the same topic, or otherwise edited by the chair/members of the Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC <https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/398163969/Bo...>). Please specify if a question is for a specific candidate(s). - There will be a public Candidates’ meeting, most likely at the end of the week of 09 February 2026. Each candidate will be asked to respond to a few questions. If you have a suggestion for these questions, please let us know.
Please send questions to At-Large Staff <staff@atlarge.icann.org> and me <greenberg.alan@gmail.com>. Questions should be submitted no later than Friday, 06 February 2026.
Alan Greenberg
Chair, BMSPC
