[EURO-Discuss] WG: Seeking Regional Advice for a New ALS / Article 19

[Tatiana Tropina]

Dear all,

I just joined EURALO a couple of days ago, so I couldn't attend the monthly
call, where the Article 19's application to join ALS was discussed. So I
would like to use this opportunity to communicate on the mailing list and
express my support to this application.

I collaborated with Article 19 on several occasions in the IG space in
general and at ICANN in particular. I am sure that their work and their
values perfectly suit the aims of EURALO, namely, to ensure that end users
benefit from the daily use of the Internet and enjoy security, privacy and
consumer protection. As to the structure of this organisation - yes, they
do have offices in some other countries, but their "home" is in Europe,
because they are incorporated in the United Kingdom. Their main office is
located in London, and that's where all the coordination and operations are
carried out from. Europe is where they belong, and I am happy that our
region has such an organisation that successfully advocates for digital
rights not only on the regional level, but much wider. We all know that
Internet has no borders: the rights the European organisaiton - Article 19
- is advocating for are universal.

I hope this application gets approved and we will welcome Article 19 as the
new EURALO member.

Warm regards

Tatiana Tropina
