Message sent on behalf of EURALO’s Chair and Secretariat Dear EURALO members, The current EURALO Board term ends on 9 December 2021. EURALO's Chair and Secretariat would like to announce a call for nominations to fill Board positions for the next 2 years (10 December 2021 – 9 December 2023<https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Board+2021-2023+Workspace>).

Please note the current Board will remain in place until the new Board is elected. In addition, there is a need for Board members as a whole, to share responsibilities with the EURALO Chair and Secretariat in assuming the following topics: 1. Legal issues 2. Policy Development 3. Communication including leading the work on the EURALO website/WIKI/Facebook page. 4. Outreach with communities outside ICANN Please note the rules and agreements applicable to this election (see document attached). In accordance with these agreements, kindly note: 1. The size of the EURALO Board will be 3-7 members, plus ex-officio, the EURALO Chair and EURALO Secretary; 2. There should be a maximum limit of 1 Board member per country; 3. As is the usual custom in votes involving people, votes will take place by secret ballot; 4. The Board will be selected for a two-years-term; not performing Board members can be recalled after one year to allow to be replaced by better candidates. The EURALO Board should be balanced but EURALO has not reached a consensus on having direct absolute criteria for geographical (East/Western Europe) or gender criteria. As geographical and gender balance are important in our region, I ask you to consider these issues when making your selection. Please submit your nominations and self-nominations from Thursday 25 November until Wednesday 1 December at 23:59 UTC by sending an email to the EURALO mailing list and copying At-Large staff staff@atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>.
