Hi Roberto,

I can only answer according to Habermas' Principle of Hope that there may 
be more EURALO members physically present in Vilnius (eight to ten) than 
we had at the ICANN meeting in Brussels - or at our Showcase. We are 
aware, it's not a wishful solution at all (a virtual GA) but the best of a 
compromise between the requirements of our Bylaws (one GA per year) 
and the current budget options or limitations of ICANN. But I still hope 
that some or even many more of our members can manage a remote 
participation at our GA the very day / evening. If you will be at the IGF 
in Vilnius, you are welcome.

Kind regards,
Wolf
