Dear Jeanette, dear Wolf,

thank you very much for being willing to take the responsibility of 

serving as co-chairs for EURALO board.

I am happy, that we finally have to volunteers as there is a lot to do.  

We should clarify the election procedure (I think end of nomination 

period until next tuesday, starting election - if necessary - wednesday 

would make sense).

Most urgent is that we develop a list of issues and projects we would 

like to achieve within the next year.

This is also relevant for the ICANN fiscal term 2007-2008 in case some 

projects would need financial support.

After facing some problems with the EURALO-list, Jeanette and I

would like to forward you the following announcement:

Hi all,

thanks to Jeanette for taking the initiative. I fully agree with the 

summary of our late discussions. Being aware about Jeanette's 

time constraints I personally would prefer the option of a co-chair.

I am pleased to confirm the announcement of our candidature.

Best regards,

Wolf

Hi everyone,

it seems the election of the ALAC members and of the EURALO board was so 

traumatic that a rather lively list fell dead silent after we got the 

results. There is something destructiv or at least polarizing about 

majority votes, they don't do justice to minorities. How to deal with 

this situation?

First of all, the board needs to become operational, and it needs a 

chair. If we are lucky, the tasks of the coming months will help us to 

overcome or at least alleviate some of the cleavages we have seen on 

this list.

Wolf Ludwig and I have talked about the election of the chair and we 

have decided to run as a duo either with him as chair and me as 

vice-chair or the two of us as co-chairs. We both have very positive 

experience with co-chairing. We are not aware that the bylaws would 

prohibit such a solution.

I want to be frank though as I am afraid of over-committing myself. As 

some of you know, I am going to move to London in early autumn and start 

a new job. Thus I cannot commit a lot of time to this task in the coming 

months and I  would see myself rather in the role of assisting Wolf and 

the board with whatever objectives they plan to accomplish.

If this seems acceptable Wolf and I would like to announce our candidature.

Best, Jeanette
