[Euro-board] Which process for replacement of EURALO selected ALAC member?

[sandra hoferichter]

All, I would go with the "suggestion that instead of an election, to
expedite matters, EURALO could resort to select the candidate that ran
against Veronica in the previous elections." In case this candidate
(Bastiaan) is still available.

Best Sandra

Betreff: [Euro-board] Which process for replacement of EURALO selected ALAC
member?

Dear EURALO Board,

you will have seen the recent announcement of Veronica Cretu's
resignation from the ALAC.
EURALO needs to appoint someone to take her seat as soon as possible, so
as to be able to make arrangements for that person to travel to the
ICANN Copenhagen meeting.
The process that we have used to select an ALAC member was by voting, as
described in: https://community.icann.org/x/XTeAAw

I have read through the EURALO Bylaws:

/11.5.10 Electing the ALAC members representing Europe. The selected
representatives must be members of different ALSes, must have their
principal residence in different countries of the region and their
nationalities must be different. To the extent possible, gender balance
and regional balance within Europe shall be fostered./

Having discussed the process that we should pursue with a couple of
people, I have heard a suggestion that instead of an election, to
expedite matters, EURALO could resort to select the candidate that ran
against Veronica in the previous elections. I do not know if this is
acceptable and would feel inclined to instead open an accelerated
nominations process as soon as possible.

Please let me know of your suggestion in the matter as soon as possible.

Kindest regards,

Olivier

Dear EURALO members,

I join Alan Greenberg, ALAC Chair, in regretting Veronica Cretu's
resignation as an ALAC member.

Having received her resignation email too, I congratulated her on her
career success. But Veronica is not leaving our community altogether:
she has confirmed to me that she will remain involved in EURALO and
following EURALO's work. I wish her every success in the future.

In the meantime, I will ask the EURALO Board to decide on the selection
of a new ALAC member to fill her seat, with the understanding that time
is of the essence, since the ICANN Copenhagen meeting is not far away.

Finally, Best Wishes for a Happy, Prosperous, and Healthy New Year 2017

Olivier

It is with regret that I must announce that Veronica Cretu has 
submitted her resignation as an ALAC Member.

When she agreed to run for the ALAC position within EURALO, she 
believed that she would have sufficient time to devote to ICANN. Due 
to a number of ongoing and new professional assignments, she feels 
that is no longer the case. Veronica is not the type of person to 
make a commitment to work with the ALAC and then not deliver on her 
commitment, so she feels that in good conscience, she must resign.

I have notified Olivier Crepin-Leblond, Chair of EURALO and he along 
with the EURALO Board will decide how to fill the vacancy. Hopefully 
this will be done with due haste to allow EURALO to be fully 
represented on the ALAC and in Copenhagen.

Veronica holds a number of positions on ALAC sub-groups, and I will 
be working with EURALO and the two remaining European ALAC members to 
ensure that EURALO is well represented.

Alan
