[Annette Muehlberg]

Congratulations and welcome to our two new ALAC members Veronica and 
Sebastien!

And a lot of thanks for the work Vittorio has done!

Congratulations to all EURALO board members!

As Wolfgang pointed out: the time of work on substantial issues has 
started. Let us make a list of issues for our workplan including time lines.

All the best

I am also satisfied that we have a good balance of different institutions in the EURALO Board. This gives us a great opportunity to move now from the discussion of procedural issues to issues of substance. I am sure that this discussion will produce much more unity than we had in the procedural debate.

As you have seen there are two European ICANN meeting scheduled now fro 2008 and 2009. This should be seen as a challenge for EURALO not only to show the face but to bring fresh ideas and actions to the ICANN process.

> Since one-half of the EURALO board was to be elected every year, as per the Bylaws for the region adopted in Lisbon, it was submitted for consideration by the ICANN staff that the top 1/2 (rounded to the nearest whole number) would serve a 2-year term, and the bottom 1/2 a 1-year term. Given the number of members of the board, that procedure would not resolve whether the top 4, or 5, would be serving 2-years. Perhaps the region will allow the board, in its first meeting, to decide this question.
