Dear EURALO Members,

On behalf of the EURALO Chair, Sébastien Bachollet and Secretariat, Natalia Filina, and in accordance with EURALO’s NEW ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, this is the first announcement of the EURALO Hybrid General Assembly 2023 to be held on Tuesday 24 October 2023 between 13:00-14:00 UTC (15:00-16:00 CEST), during the ICANN78 Meeting in Hamburg.

The Agenda has been posted on the EURALO Hybrid General Assembly 2023 wiki page. Please be so kind as to review the draft agenda and be prepared to participate!

ATTENDANCE:

Please complete the Google form to confirm your attendance or send an apology.

NOTE – IF an apology and appointing a Proxy, please note Proxy on the Google form AND complete the attached proxy form (as per the EURALO Articles of Association – see hereafter).

At this stage you have TWO options:

1. Participate in the General Assembly in person or remotely: instructions for attending are included below in this email. Please note there is *no* travel funding to attend this meeting in Hamburg.
2. Send an apology, in which case you may nominate a PROXY (document attached) to represent you. A proxy will need to confirm participation in the General Assembly.

Please note that in order to achieve quorum at the General Assembly, it is important for you to take action on one of the two options above!

In order to nominate a proxy, please send your proxy document by email with the subject line PROXY EURALO Hybrid GA 2023 to EURALO’s Chair at sebicann@bachollet.fr, Secretariat at filinafilka@gmail.com and At-Large staff at staff@atlarge.icann.org, appointing the proxy.

Kindly note that according to the new EURALO Articles of Association, Proxies may only validly be appointed by a notice in writing (a “proxy notice”) which:

1. states the name and address of the Member appointing the proxy;
2. identifies the person appointed to be that Member’s proxy and the General Assembly in relation to which that person is appointed;
3. is signed by or on behalf of the Member appointing the proxy, or is authenticated in such manner as the Board may determine; and is delivered to the General Assembly in accordance with the articles and any instructions contained in the notice of the General Assembly to which they relate.

As per practice in past General Assemblies, there will be a maximum of two proxies possible per member participating in the GA and staff will inform you if a nominated proxy has exceeded their vote allocation and suggest alternatives.

At-Large staff will follow up with calendar invitations with Remote Participation information (zoom room will only be provided 24h prior to the start of the session)

Thank you.

Kind regards,

ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community
