Dear Colleagues,

it is my pleasure and honour to be able to announce that the new EURALO Articles of Association have been adopted according to its previous Bylaws. Staff will follow-up sharing the exact details of the vote.

Our EURALO Bylaws Task Force has spent more than 3 years debating and drafting them, as the our original, "old" Bylaws were completely out of date and inappropriate.

At this point in time, I would like to thank the members of the Task Force on Review and Revision of EURALO Bylaws. Members of the group are listed on https://community.icann.org/x/iAZ1Aw

But I would also like to recognise two people in particular who have done significant, tedious work, in this process: Mikhail Medrish, who led the initial work of the group in reviewing the original Bylaws to estimate the level of re-writing needed. The second person, who has held the pen with the new draft and has displayed expertise in being able to accompany the process in a complex environment that had to mix the needs of our community with a format of Swiss Articles - supposedly the simplest in Europe - was Florian Hule. Congratulations!
It is thanks to the work of volunteers that EURALO can evolve. The next step will be to also design Operating Rules for EURALO - a formalisation how this Regional At-Large Organisation can operate its processes, from elections, to reporting its activities, to selection of representatives on committees etc. I hope you will be many volunteers to carry this work forward.

Warmest regards,

Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond
EURALO Chair
