Fwd: Re: Action Items: 2017-02-28 EURALO Monthly Teleconference"
Dear EURALO Colleagues, below, please find an exchange of messages between Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of EURALO, and myself. I appreciate Olivier’s quick reaction, the corrections he brought to my message (number of seats on EURALO Board), and his helpful comments. Best regards, Jean-Jacques.

One of the current tasks is the appraisal of the At-Large Review: because of its complexity, but even more because of the implications of some of the recommendations in that Review, it is necessary to make sure that contributions are made on time, and that they are relevant.

Hello everyone, as we are reaching another cycle of appointments, with a new EURALO Board ( https://atlarge.icann.org/ralos/euralo ) needing to be selected and seated by the end of year, I am following up on the thread below. This is a public discussion between Jean-Jacques Subrenat and me, regarding the consideration to assign specific responsibilities to EURALO Board members. I have passed this by the current (outgoing) EURALO Board and received little response. Thus I am turning to you, the community that will select the next EURALO Board, to define the positions of future EURALO Board members. At present, the following positions are suggested: 1. Legal Reference Point 2. Primary Contract point for ALSes (Inreach Lead) 3. Policy Development Lead 4. ? 5. ? Suggestions welcome, ahead of next week's conference call, where we shall be discussing this. Kindest regards, Olivier On 02/03/2017 18:46, Jean-Jacques Subrenat wrote:

Dear Stéphane, thanks for your kind follow-up. Re: Treasurer, that is not a position that was considered as EURALO does not have its own funds/account as such. In fact, the "Treasurer" position is being deleted from the bylaws update. Re: Chair & Vice Chair, these are points to discuss. Currently the EURALO Chair & Secretariat are members of the Board, ex-officio. Re: Outreach - yes that's a good point, as we already have a proposal for someone to do inreach. Should it be a different person for outreach? Kindest regards Olivier On 16/11/2017 09:24, svg@milathan.ltd wrote:

I think so, yes. My suggestion was outreach outside of the traditional at large community, so other ICANN groups and wider. My rationale being that there are more people out there who simply do not know about at large, or understand what it does… and there are many people who simply have the wrong (usually negative) ideas about at large. So a kind of PR officer if you will ;)
Dear Stéphane, Thanks. Totally in agreement with you. Definitely needed a first point of contact & PR person for people considering joining At-Large. Kindest regards, Olivier On 16/11/2017 16:03, svg@milathan.ltd wrote:

Dear Olivier & All, thank you Olivier for taking up the proposal I made more than a year ago, which was to assign some tasks to EURALO Board members, in line with the identified needs of EURALO. My proposal was prompted by the impression that whereas EURALO Chair and Secretary were doing a lot of work, the contribution of some others seemed less decisive. We need a Board which is representative, but also where the workload is fairly evenly distributed. Bearing in mind the discussion which has taken place thus far on this thread, I would repeat my proposal, slightly re-worded: 1. Legal issues 2. Policy Development Lead 3. Communication Lead: this person should accept to lead the work on the EURALO website. In my mind, relations with ALAC and the ALSs should be the responsibility of the Chair (or Vice Chair when s/he is not available), so I have deleted that aspect. As for Communication Lead, at least one EURALO ALS has succeeded in setting up and updating a real communication effort towards its membership, as well as the functionalities and content of its website. The Board of the EURALO Individuals’ Association made a point of sending regular emails to members, as well as enriching the website with online news: Our Members in the News; Reports on meetings; Report on opinion poll; improving the Board page; writing thought pieces specifically for that website.

I believe that Stéphane had an excellent idea. I would like to add that EURALO provides an entry path to newcomers, that could join the EURALO Individual Users Association as individuals in case they do not belong to an At-Large Structure or while waiting for the process of certification of their organization as ALS. In this respect, I would also add that at our AGM we (the EURALO Individual Users Association) have started an internal discussion to explore options for outreach. Maybe if a point of contact is established, we could work in coordination with the appointed officer.

Dear all, this is a very good idea and we have also a strong argument regarding the easy entering barrier plus we are the home for all individual Internet end users who want to have a voice and get involved in the policy process. Moreover, an excellent recruiting area is the NextGen or/and Fellow Program of ICANN. I already did this at ICANN60, very likeminded and interested people. Have a nice day!
