I am uncomfortable in being in this mailing list while the application is being discussed, you should be free to provide criticism without me listening. This said, be aware that the purpose of this application is to provide an open platform for individuals, and by its nature it is prone to changes and suggestions by the internet community. I believe that changes to the name and to bylaws articles should be possible, as long as these changes do not affect the principle of openness. Regards, R.

Thanks for this response, Christopher. I think there is much plausibility in your arguments below and I would be open for such a slight name modification. But I leave it up to others - particularly the contact points - to express their opinion on this.
Thanks and regards, Wolf

Dear Wolf, Dear Colleagues:
Thankyou for this proposal. You may recall that I supported this concept in a recent conference call.
My only question concerns the title. This should be the "Euralo Individuals Association".
The link with ICANN should be made clear and maintained. "Euro" could in due course become a source of confusion:
- "Euro" refers to a comprehensive, pan-European concept. c.f. EuroDIG. The scope is not limited to ICANN in any way.
- "Euro" also refers specifically to the currency (€) which is obviously inappropriate in the ICANN context.
Consequently, I would strongly advise to amend the name of this ALS to "Euralo Individuals Association".
Best regards
Christopher Wilkinson
PS: In due course one might correct the title of this discussion list which also contains the above anomaly.

Dear all,
as you may recall, EURALO amended its Bylaws in spring 2011 to allow better involvement and participation of individual members in our region. To provide a voting right in a balanced manner to existing ALSes, we asked them to create their own home ALS to accommodate individuals from all over the region. After an arduous path At-Large Staff finally received an application from the Euro-Individuals to become a regular At-Large structure and the application was undergoing the usual DD procedure. The contact points of this ALS are Roberto Gaetano with residence in Austria / Vienna and Veronica Cretu from Moldavia.
Attached please find the DD form – please note that the DD form could contain sensitive information. Please read the form carefully before sending it off to third parties.
As EURALO was asked for its regional advice on the applicant, I would like to ask you for your comments and consideration. If no objections are raised on this list until Saturday, 27 July midnight (CEST), the regional advice to ALAC will be positive and to certify this new member ALS.
Thanks for your support and kind regards, Wolf
