Hello, this is just to confirm that we discussed the issue of EURALO Bylaws revision under agenda item 7 tonight and the suggestion to create a WG. On tonight's call participants expressed no urgency or immediate need for this. Let me just recapitulate some considerations from May 2014, before our last GA in London: "We realized long time ago some "problems" with the EURALO Bylaws when we amended them in spring 2011 (before the Belgrade GA). Most EURALO insiders are aware that the Bylaws are *too long, bulky, overloaded and according to rigid German association law standards* under which they were drafted in 2006. Over the years we realized that many parts and prescriptions do not correspond with our functioning and realities or on a regular level -- on the other hand, they *do not restrain* our functioning neither. Therefore, such "revision" of our Bylaws would mainly mean *reduction to the essentials* but not rewriting of the Bylaws as such. And if we do so, this must be done by a small group of people who are experienced and familiar with different association law standards and regimes. Such a work would mean a cutting down from heavy and rigid German standards to "simple and easy to handle" Swiss standards which are well recognized for this. And I think, almost everybody has understood so far that such a work or special task cannot be done during a General Assembly but as outlined above! Furthermore, I really think we have plenty of other (functioning) problems which are far more urgent to be discussed than Bylaws revision -- what is a "nice to have" compared with.” If people who have not been on our call tonight feel an immediate need for such a WG and are willing to participate in it, please let us know. Thanks and best regards, Wolf Oksana Prykhodko wrote Sun, 22 Feb 2015 21:49:
Dear all,
I have to apologise for not being able to participate in EURALO teleconference again - I am still waiting for Ombudsman answer.
I propose to create WG on EURALO Bylaws revision - asap.
I am in.
Best regards, Oksana _______________________________________________ EURO-Discuss mailing list EURO-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/euro-discuss
