[EURO-Discuss] WG: EURALO GA and proposed Board Re-elections

[At-Large Staff]

Dear M Morfin:

With respect to the question in your final paragraph, for your convenience,
please see directly below from the email originally transmitted to you on
16th May 2008, and then again on 23rd May 2008:

[...]

In closing, for these reasons we were unable to accredit your organisation
as an At-Large Structure. Should your organisation¹s situation change, we
encourage you to re-apply for ALS status. The coming ICANN meeting and the
EURALO events in Paris may offer good opportunities to meet EURALO Board
members and discuss the issues with your application. This may then help
form the basis for a re-application, or, if you prefer, to request
reconsideration of this application. In the meantime, we wish to emphasise
that you, like all individual Internet users, are welcome to continue to
participate in EURALO¹s mailing list and its work.

We understand that you may wish to appeal the decision reached. If so, we
wish to draw your attention to the three options that you have in this
respect which were provided in our email to you on 16th May 2008, and which
are repeated below for your convenience:

1. Request that the ALAC Reconsider Its Decision
If you believe that the reasons for the adverse decision are not correct
once you have received them, you may ask the ALAC to reconsider the
decision. When requesting ALAC reconsideration, please provide details of
why you believe the decision is not correct in as much detail as you believe
will be useful, and transmit this by email, along with any supplementary
documentation you believe relevant, to staff at atlarge.icann.org
<mailto:staff at atlarge.icann.org> . The staff will acknowledge receipt and
transmit the information to the ALAC.

2. Contact the ICANN Ombudsman
ICANN has established the Office of the Ombudsman to evaluate and where
possible resolve complaints about unfair or inappropriate treatment by
ICANN. For more information about ICANN's Ombudsman, please visit
http://www.icann.org/ombudsman. If you have a dispute you want the Ombudsman
to investigate, or to contact the Ombudsman, please visit
http://www.icann.org/ombudsman/contact.htm.

3. ICANN Board of Directors Reconsideration
ICANN's Board of Directors has established a Reconsideration Committee to
handle requests from any person or entity that has been materially affected
by any ICANN staff action if such person or entity believes the action
contradicts established ICANN policies, or by actions of the Board that such
person or entity believes has been taken without consideration of material
information. Note: this is a brief summary of the relevant Bylaws
provisions. For more information about ICANN's reconsideration process,
please visit http://www.icann.org/committees/reconsideration.
