Dear Roberto,<br>
<br>
thank you for your follow-up in this matter and thank you for your
kind proposal.<br>
The discussion has indeed already started and I am hoping we can
move forward on the next step of appointment of EURALO Board members
on today's call.<br>
<br>
The proposals which you make in your message appear very reasonable
indeed. EURALO needs a functioning Board. At present, the
nominations are recorded on the following page:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Board+2015">https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Board+2015</a><br>
<br>
You will note that there are 10 nominations so far. <br>
<br>
Based on your proposals, I will propose on today's call that:<br>
<br>
1. we record the country of the ALS or the country of residence (for
individual members) in the nominations and show them in an
additional column<br>
2. if there are no objections in the next 7 days, the size of the
EURALO Board be 5 members<br>
3. if there are no objections in the next 7 days, the EURALO Board
should be balanced, as per your suggestion below<br>
4. if there are no objections in the next 7 days, we need to develop
a Board recall process<br>
<br>
We will also need to decide on whether the Chair and Secretariat are
counted as part of the 5 member Board, or not. <br>
ie. 5 Board members + Chair + Secretariat = 7 people total<br>
or<br>
5 Board members including Chair + Secretariat = 5 people total<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
