Dear all, as current election terms expire (and pre-announced already on 6.08.), we have to open the process for the succession of Sébastien Bachollet’s ALAC seat starting from ICANN’s next Annual General Meeting in December in Cartagena/Colombia (AGM 2010 - AGM 2012). As Sébastien will complete his second term already by the end of year, he cannot be nominated again for an immediate prolongation. Matthias Langenegger from At-Large Staff updated the EURALO Election wiki page which can be found under: https://st.icann.org/euralo/index.cgi?2010_election_calls_euralo According to the Suggested Election Timeline, EURALO now opens a call for nominations for the open ALAC position (succession of Sébastien Bachollet): 1. Call for election: The regional Secretariat will make a call for election. 2. Nomination period: Nominations for this ALAC position can be posted on the EURALO list now and shall be accepted until 6 September 2010. 3. Acceptance deadline: The nominees need to accept their nomination no later than seven days after the nomination period ends (13 September 2010). 4. Election: The election (if we reach a quorum of participation) will be held during the next EURALO General Assembly 2010 on 15 September in Vilnius/Lithuania in line with the next Internet Governance Forum (IGF). If no quorum for elections will be reached, we will approve the nomination and discuss a formalising procedure. The EURALO election process 2010 will be an agenda point at our next monthly call coming Tuesday, 17 August PM (a call reminder will follow via a separate mail). We would appreciate your nominations now and keep you informed about the process.
