[EURO-Discuss] ALAC Candidates

[Annette Muehlberg]

Dear Nick, dear all,

I agree with Jeanette and would like to add, that Veronica applied 
already in January and the ALAC, who discussed proposing Veronica as one 
of the candidates to the ICANN Board did not get a hint that there would 
be any restriction concerning non-ALS members.

Anyhow, Veronica could join any time the network new media (an 
accredited european ALS) if not being an ALS member would be a serious 
problem, though I do not think it is.

Instead of creating bureaucracy we should be practical: it is the same 
situation as with the EURALO board - if the EURALO selects a person, 
this person means something to the EURALO members and this is what 
counts. It is enough that an ALS nominates a candidate, this candidate 
should not be forced to join an ALS for formal reasons (this procedure 
might raise the number of members of the nnm, which I very much 
appreciate ;-) but it is absolutely not neccessary). As far as I know, 
the NomCom is not restricted to select a person who is a member of an 
ALS, the EURALO should not be so either.

Best greetings

Annette
