<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello all, </div><div><br></div><div>I was driven by the above messages (and by my legal background of course) to have a closer look to the bylaws again,</div><div><br>So a few questions were invoked.</div><div><br>First I am curious (it may be an ignorant question, but I prefer to receive clarity) whether EURALO is indeed registered under any legal system of any European country? </div><div>As Art. 1.1. states "<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt">1 The Association bears the name “ICANN European Internet Users Forum” (hereinafter referred to as “The Association”) and shall be registered as required by law"</span></div><div><br></div><div>So the question invoked is in order to clarify which law is in fact applicable or shall be applicable (when and if registered) to the Association. </div><div><br></div><div>As per the current situation (if understand it correctly) - Euralo represents an association (if not registered) of organisations (legal persons themselves) which activity is followed by norms (bylaws) whose legal nature is quite uncertain. </div><div><br></div><div>The Memorandum with ICANN is signed by single organisations, not by EURALO as a legal person. </div><div><br>So I think that there is a point to ask clarifications on the legal basis. </div><div><br></div><div>As per the other issues raised in the correspondence - I have some thoughts on these also: Wolf is referring to 11.5.9. of the Bylaws - so I was wondering whether the online voting for Secretariat in 2013 (after the GA in Lisbon) represents a GA itself under the meaning of 11.7 of the bylaws (pointing out specific requirements for a meeting online or other to be a GA) or not.</div><div><br></div><div>I will appreciate your opinions and thoughts on the above. Once again - apologies if these issues were already addressed in some way among members. </div><div><br></div><div>All the best, </div><div>Plamena </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-07-23 13:12 GMT+03:00 Oksana Prykhodko <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sana.pryhod@gmail.com" target="_blank">sana.pryhod@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Communication in this way can force me to stop discussion here, but can't force me to stop to act.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><span class="">On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 9:49 PM, Wolf Ludwig <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wolf.ludwig@comunica-ch.net" target="_blank">wolf.ludwig@comunica-ch.net</a>></span> wrote:<br></span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">If there wouldn't be "any legal basis" like our Bylaws (Chair – see Art. 9.5 and 9.6 resp. Secretariat – see Art 11.5.9), you couldn't have been elected for the Secretariat end of May 2011 at the Belgrad GA ;-) The very fact that you were not reelected in June 2013 (run-off vote -- see Art. 11.20) doesn't support your sole opinion that there is "no legal basis".<br>
<br>
And BTW, you had your chance to complain against me with the Ombudsman and your complaint was not approved by him. Repeating false assumptions is not helpful at all.<br>
