Hello all, I would like to emphasize the importance of the EURALO Board and encourage members from throughout Europe to seriously consider applying. With already a few nominations for candidates from Western Europe, the EURALO leadership would really benefit from having a geographical and gender balance of members. Thus I hope that members from Eastern Europe will seriously consider applying too. With the General Data Protection Regulations coming in force in 2018, and several debates about Privacy taking place at ICANN, including Registration Data Services, the involvement and input from our region is of prime importance. If you are considering taking on responsibilities at EURALO but aren't completely sure about it, including having concerns about the workload that this translates to, don't hesitate to email me in private. Kindest regards, Olivier On 29/11/2017 00:14, ICANN At-Large Staff wrote:

*From:* ICANN At-Large Staff *Sent:* Tuesday, November 21, 2017 8:27 PM *To:* euro-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org <mailto:euro-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org> *Cc:* 'Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond' <ocl@gih.com <mailto:ocl@gih.com>>; Wale Bakare <wales.baky@gmail.com <mailto:wales.baky@gmail.com>>; ICANN At-Large Staff <staff@atlarge.icann.org <mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>> *Subject:* Call for Nominations for the election of the EURALO Board 2017-2019 - NOMINATIONS OPEN TODAY - through Nov 28
Message sent on behalf of EURALO’s chair and Secretariat
Dear EURALO members,
The current EURALO Board term ends on *9 December 2017.* As agreed on the November EURALO monthly call <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_I...>, EURALO's Chair and Secretariat would like to announce a call for nominations to fill Board positions for the next 2 years ( *9 December 2017 – 9 December 2019*). This call is made in accordance with the EURALO Articles of Association <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_display_EURALO_Articles-2Bof-2BAssociation&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=ds9md1zoepmwqw2nfk-Vs9ssxn1I3jPs97ekKkctEkM&m=uH6rhLVHXzz1YfhbIQlJ_-Iu_Wj1boE4MDzX1ExE9CQ&s=7PYZnQJ5oE1apiTu_vDrsAXxnwOHC_T5KA4ciTiaXU8&e=>and Selection and performance criteria for EURALO Board members 2015 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dow...>. In addition, it should be mentioned that a recent discussion on the EURALO mailing list as well as the EURALO monthly call of 21 November 2017, made it quite clear that there was a need to for Board members as a whole to share responsibilities with the EURALO Chair and Secretariat in assuming the following topics:
1. Legal issues 2. Policy Development 3. Communication including leading the work on the EURALO website/WIKI/Facebook page. 4. Outreach with communities outside ICANN
Please note the rules and agreements applicable to this election at: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/euro-discuss/2015-November/004161.h.... In accordance with these agreements, kindly note:
1. The size of the EURALO Board will be 5 members, plus ex-officio, the EURALO Chair and EURALO Secretary;
2. There should be a maximum limit of 1 Board member per country;
3. Each EURALO At-Large Structure will be given 5 votes that they will need to cast on 5 people;
4. As is the usual custom in votes involving people, votes will take place by secret ballot;
5. The Board will be selected for a two-years-term; and as a novelty: not performing Board members can be recalled after one year to allow to be replaced by better candidates.
The EURALO Board should be balanced but EURALO has not reached a consensus on having direct absolute criteria for geographical (East/Western Europe) or Gender criteria. As geographical and gender balance are important in our region, I ask you to consider these issues when making your selection.
Please submit your nominations and self-nominations starting *today 21 November until 28 November* *23:59 UTC * by sending an email to the EURALO mailing list and coping At – Large staff staff@atlarge.icann.org <mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> . All candidates who accept their nominations by the deadline above must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). To read the Expression of Interest Statements from Board members please visit: https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Board+Election+process++20...
The online vote will start on *29 November* *2017 at 23:59 UTC to 7 December 2017 at 23:59 UTC*
At-Large Staff will note the nominations in the following Wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Board+2017-2019+Workspace
