[EURO-Discuss] Your opinion needed on our course of action!

[Dragoslava Greve]

Dear Wolf, dear All,

I am also surprised that from all the candidates not even one woman candidature 
has been selected for the final slate. But also thinking about the message we are 
likely to pass with the petition, I am less and less convinced it is a good 
idea. 

For me EURALO's  consideration to send a petition reads as a clear sign of 
disbelief in the abilities of the current European candidate and lack of support 
for his candidature. 

I also share the same concern regarding our attempt to introduce more candidates 
to the slate as of our AFRALO colleagues, as seen from the message with the 
quotation from the AFRALO meeting  sent earlier today by Adam. 

---quotation starts---
"Aziz: We already have Pierre's candidature. I know from some time. 
Addiing additional candidates to the slate would undermine Pierre's 
candidature and will decrease his options."
---end of quotation---

I believe introducing more European candidates will split our support and most 
likely none of them will have a chance to be elected.

Therefore, as a representative from ISOC Bulgaria, I am voting for option C. 
EURALO not to petition at all as the course of action we should be taking. 

Best regards,

Dessi Greve
