Dear EURALO members,

This call is made in accordance with the EURALO Articles of Association<https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/Procedures+and+Policies?preview=/16843067/120820581/EURALO%20Bylaws%20draft%2010-06-2019%20FINALv5-clean%20(1).pdf>, the EURALO Rules of Procedures<https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Information%3A+Governance%2C+Leaders+and+Members?preview=/186779828/284950756/20231128_EURALO_RoP_signed.pdf> (ROP) and Selection and performance criteria for EURALO Board members 2015<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_download_attachments_53777046_Performance-2Dcriteria-5FBoard-5FSecretariat.pdf-3Fversion-3D1-26modificationDate-3D1444426126000-26api-3Dv2&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=ds9md1zoepmwqw2nfk-Vs9ssxn1I3jPs97ekKkctEkM&m=uH6rhLVHXzz1YfhbIQlJ_-Iu_Wj1boE4MDzX1ExE9CQ&s=CsKYExIOA6aUn5tQkz9Uixkgq6qlEDJF7Q9n-yVTvic&e=>.

Please note the current Board will remain in place until the new Board is elected.

In addition, there is a need for Board members as a whole, to share responsibilities with the EURALO Chair and Secretariat in assuming the following topics:


  1.  Legal issues
  2.  Policy Development
  3.  Communication including leading the work on the EURALO website/WIKI/Facebook page.
  4.  Outreach with communities outside ICANN

Please note the rules and agreements applicable to this election (see document attached). In accordance with these agreements, kindly note:


  1.  The size of the EURALO Board will be 2-5 members, plus ex-officio, the EURALO Chair and EURALO Secretary;
  2.  There should be a maximum limit of 1 Board member per country;
  3.  As is the usual custom in votes involving people, votes will take place by secret ballot;
  4.  The Board will be selected for a two-years-term;  not performing Board members can be recalled after one year to allow to be replaced by better candidates.

The EURALO Board should be balanced but EURALO has not reached a consensus on having direct absolute criteria for geographical (East/Western Europe) or gender criteria. As geographical and gender balance are important in our region, we ask you to consider these issues when making your selection.

Please submit your nominations and self-nominations from Thursday 30 November 2023 until Thursday 7 December 2023 at 23:59 UTC by sending an email to the EURALO mailing list and copying At-Large staff staff at atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff at atlarge.icann.org>. All candidates who accept their nominations by the deadline above must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).

The online vote will start on Friday 08 December 2023 until Friday 15 December 2023 at 23:59 UTC.

At-Large Staff will note the nominations on the following Wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Board+2023-2025+Workspace

Thank you for your active participation in this election process!

Kind regards,
Gisella
