Dear EURALO Board and EURALO Members,

As we review EURALO’s governance documents to ensure they reflect recent developments within the ICANN ecosystem and remain aligned with applicable law, this is an opportunity to consider whether aspects of our structure and processes should be updated. Community input on the following issues would be greatly appreciated:

1. Board Structure

The EURALO Articles of Association currently allow the Board to consist of as few as two members. Should a larger Board (e.g., 5–15 members) be considered to support broader representation and diversity of perspectives?

2. Terms and Leadership Rotation

The current framework does not clearly address term limits or consecutive terms. Should EURALO consider two-year terms with a maximum of three consecutive terms for Board members, officers, and ALAC representatives?

3. Constitutional Changes

Constitutional amendments currently require a two-thirds majority. Should EURALO consider a higher threshold (e.g., three-quarters) for fundamental governance changes?

4. ALS and Individual User Representation

Individual Users currently participate through the EURALO Individual Users’ Association, which holds a single vote similar to an ALS. Should voting weight reflect the number of participants represented, or should all ALSes and recognized structures continue to have equal voting rights?

5. Dispute Resolution

Should EURALO establish a clearer internal dispute resolution process before matters are escalated to the ICANN Ombudsman or other external mechanisms?

These governance choices will help shape EURALO's future. I would welcome your views and whether there is support for a broader consultation, such as a questionnaire or community poll.

Best regards,

Pari Esfandiari
