<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Dear all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Thank you very-very much for all your comments and propositions. Just one very urgent question: could anyone show me the rules of EURALO officers nominations and election? (not from EURALO Bylaws, but from
all your written or oral agreements in Mexcico etc.)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">We did nominate EURALO officers beforehand:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">- Olivier for EURALO Chair (I do not know, who nominated him from the very beginning, but I am happy to second this nomination);<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">- Plamena – for the second EURALO Officer position (I nominated Plamena, but I am not sure for which position I did it).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">I can not understand some other details, but may be they have no relation to EURALO's priorities:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">- why we have to start nomination process from zero point?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">- what is the second position for EURALO Officers?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">- who can guarantee, that the rules and procedures of EURALO Officers election will not be changed during the process of election?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">- who is responsible to organize EURALO election in fair, transparent and accountable way? (in other words, who can be suited for violation during this process - EURALO Officers election).<u></u><u></u></p>
