Membership shall be by application, in writing, in the form and
containing the information which the Board shall from time to time
determine, and shall be signed.</p><p>4.3 The Board shall determine the
criteria for membership, subject to review of the same by the General
Assembly, and the mechanism by which applications for Membership are
approved, which may also be reviewed by the General Assembly.</p><p>4.4 Members of other RALOs may not be members of The Association.</p><p>4.5
The Association will promote the formation of user groups and their
accreditation by the ALAC. Nevertheless, mechanisms will be maintained
to ensure that the individual regional users not integrated into ALSes
can express their opinion on the development of ICANN policies.</p><p>4.6
A new European ALS will be created to "collect" unaffiliated
individuals from the region. This ALS would be part of the existing
EURALO structure and would need to fulfil the minimum ALS requirements
according to the ALS formation framework (see <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/framework.htm" class="external-link">http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/framework.htm</a> and also ICANN Bylaws <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XI-2.4i" class="external-link">http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#XI-2.4i</a>).
Once it is an integral part of the EURALO structure, this ALS would
have the same rights and responsibilities as any other regional ALS.</p><p>Of course I support Article 19 membership in EURALO.</p>And once again, I support rewriting of EURALO ByLaws!<br><br></div>Best regards,<br></div>Oksana<br><div><div><div><br><br></div></div></div></div>
