Wolfgang,
minor correction, but important in the context of what you say:

The ICANN by-laws state that there could be up to 5 members of the board 
from the same region.
That means it's possible that the NomCom 2011 can elect an European. 
Well, hopefully also an East European :)

*ARTICLE VI: BOARD OF DIRECTORS
**Section 2. DIRECTORS AND THEIR SELECTION; ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN AND 
VICE-CHAIRMAN
*2.[ ] At no time when it makes its selection shall the Nominating 
Committee select a Director to fill any vacancy or expired term whose 
selection would cause the total number of Directors (not including the 
President) from countries in any one Geographic Region (as defined in 
Section 5 of this Article 
<http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#VI-5>) to exceed five; and 
the Nominating Committee shall ensure when it makes its selections that 
the Board includes at least one Director who is from a country in each 
ICANN Geographic Region (“Diversity Calculation”).

When he leaves ALAC and will become a votong ICANn director, his European ALAC seat remains empty for the rest of his period because EURALO has no right to send somebody else to replace him. This can be done only by the NomCom and the 2011 NomCom has no European slot to fill.
