Dear European At Large Structures,

The ALAC has examined the EURALO letter which we have sent a few days
ago, asking for an extension of the election process.

As a result, the ALAC has decided that ICANN Staff should convene an
At Large Board Selection Design Team (ABSdt) meeting to discuss the
extension of the deadline of the Board Director Vote.

This meeting, after an appropriate Doodle Poll of its Team members,
will take place on Monday at 13:00 UTC.


Both Patrick Vande Walle and I are on the ABSdt.

I would therefore like to be advised on:

1. the rationale behind asking for 10 days of voting by EURALO ALSes
2. whether we would wish an "all or nothing" 30th November date, or
whether we wish an extension which could be negotiated, and if so, what
is the extension that would allow us to conduct a suitable election
process in EURALO?
3. any other points which should be made clear and which we should
insist on during the ABSdt call?

I have a pretty good idea of how to answer (1) - which is that our
At Large Structures (ALSes) will be polled to determine what candidate
Wolf Ludwig, EURALO Chair will vote for, and that we therefore need
to give ALSes enough time to get informed about the candidates and
to vote. Is this enough, or are there more arguments that we can use?
As for (2) and (3), please email your suggestions ASAP.

Thanks,

Olivier
