[EURO-Discuss] EURALO BOARD selection

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

Dear Roberto,

thank you for your follow-up in this matter and thank you for your kind
proposal.
The discussion has indeed already started and I am hoping we can move
forward on the next step of appointment of EURALO Board members on
today's call.

The proposals which you make in your message appear very reasonable
indeed. EURALO needs a functioning Board. At present, the nominations
are recorded on the following page:
https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Board+2015

You will note that there are 10 nominations so far.

Based on your proposals, I will propose on today's call that:

1. we record the country of the ALS or the country of residence (for
individual members) in the nominations and show them in an additional column
2. if there are no objections in the next 7 days, the size of the EURALO
Board be 5 members
3. if there are no objections in the next 7 days, the EURALO Board
should be balanced, as per your suggestion below
4. if there are no objections in the next 7 days, we need to develop a
Board recall process

We will also need to decide on whether the Chair and Secretariat are
counted as part of the 5 member Board, or not.
ie. 5 Board members + Chair + Secretariat = 7 people total
or
5 Board members including Chair + Secretariat = 5 people total

Kindest regards,

Olivier
