Dear all,

-----Mensaje original----- De: Andres Oliva [mailto:aoliva@diplomaticnet.com] Enviado el: viernes, 27 de abril de 2007 18:15 Para: Discussion for At-Large Europe CC: dequinto@pique-aa.com; Laurea Folch i Millet Asunto: Nominations - update

Dear all,

First of all, I would like to thank Dessi Pefeva for nominating me for EURALO's Board. We, in the Catalan Chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC-CAT) are very interested in helping EURALO to consolidate as the main European organization to defend and protect the rights and interests of the European users regarding the domain name system.

Considering that in ISOC-CAT there are people that have more experience than me on ICANN's specific issues, I do not accept the nomination and, on behalf of ISOC-CAT, I nominate Paco de Quinto as a candidate to EURALO's Board. Please include him (dequinto@pique-aa.com) in EURALO's mailing lists.

Below you will find a brief presentation of its candidature.

Best regards,

Andres Oliva

_____________________________________________

Paco de Quinto candidature for EURID's Board _____________________________________________

I am a lawyer and a economist, and since 1999 my speciality is legal consultancy on new technologies.

My contact with ICANN goes back to 2001. I have been member of ISOC-CAT's Board during 2004-2005, period in which I directly assisted with the legal incorporation of ISOC-ECC in Barcelona. Later on, I kept collaborating with the subsequent ISOC-CAT boards on legal and accounting issues.

I am a selected arbitrator of the DotCAT Foundation to solve conflicts in the adjudication of ".cat" domain names.

Professionally, I have had the chance to successfully take part in several domain names recovery proceedings within the framework of the ICANN Unified Conflicts Solutions Policy.

I am preparing a PhD thesis in new technology law about "digital identity management" in the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), and I am actually participating in several 7th framework European research programs.

I think my legal and accounting experience could be very useful to consolidate the "birth" of EURALO, assisting with the drafting of legal agreements, the establishment of voting procedures, and, if this is finally the case, with the legal incorporation of the entity. Moreover, my knowledge on the legal aspects of the domain name system could be very useful for EURALO in its given task of protecting and defending the rights of the European Internet users.
