<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Dear all,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">you may be aware that there will be some changes this year regarding the EURALO leadership (at our next GA probably in autumn) and some first and *urgent nominations* for</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">a) NomCom 2016 and </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">b) our next regional selected ALAC member.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As we know from the past, such options are usually not manifold – finding people from our community to step in and investing two days per week (minimum) to fulfill such demanding tasks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We repeatedly discussed these issues over the last weeks with our ALAC members and NomCom delegate and came up with a very first scenario:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">- for NomCom 2016 – Wolf and Sebastien (suggested)</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">- for ALAC – Yrjö and Sebastien (suggested)</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">- for the next EURALO Chair – Olivier (suggested)</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">further options need to be considered of course and are noted so far – see:</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/2015+ALAC+and+RALO+Elections%2C+Selections+and+Appointments">https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/2015+ALAC+and+RALO+Elections%2C+Selections+and+Appointments</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Please note: as we have several candidates for the same functions (NomCom and ALAC) already, we need to conduct an Online vote with support of At-Large Staff (what needs time to prepare and conduct by mobilizing our members).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Regarding timelines and process, please see details from At-Large Staff below. The deadline for NomCom and ALAC nominations is *15 May – next Friday*!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks for your consideration and comments.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Best regards,</span></p>
