[Euro-board] [Fwd: Re: [At-Large] Rest in Peace]

[Rudi Vansnick]

Dear colleagues,

I'm afraid underlying message asks for some actions/reactions. Can we
accept that our constituency is attacked and accused by someone is even
not a member of Euralo ? He will certainly post similar messages on
other lists.

Let's be more active in order to make these noises useless ! Latest
updates on the site are from october ... We had some meetings in Cairo
we could comment on. And of course, the Euralo participation in EURODIG
not to forget ..

Now I understand why Nick kept protecting france at large from the late 
Euralo disease !

Actually, Euralo is not dead ! http://euralo.com

PS. I doubt the new Euralo will get the ICANN budget of the deceased one :-)
