    Dear Roberto and Sébastien,<br>
    <br>
    as far as I understand, there is no strict requirement as such for
    EURALO Board appointment but it is good practice to have an SOI and
    I highly encourage everyone to have one in the name of transparency.
    I have sent Julia details on how to create one.<br>
    Kindest regards,<br>
    <br>
    Olivier<br>

                    <p class="MsoNormal">With a degree in
                      telecommunication engineering, I have been an ISOC
                      member since 2004, and ISOC-Bulgaria’s chapter
                      project leader for nearly a decade. <br>
                      Prior to that I have worked as a programmer and
                      technical consultant at the Bulgarian Council of
                      Ministers on issues related to e-governance, as
                      well as part of the free software community in
                      Bulgaria.<br>
                      I have led and brought to successful completion
                      projects ranging from e-governance on the Balkans;
                      free software in public administrations in
                      South-Eastern Europe; to creating knowledge
                      infrastructures for open culture in Scandinavia. <br>
                      Since 2008 I live in Sweden from where I have
                      co-consulted the Republic of Kosovo on the TLD
                      process; participated in WCIT in Dubai in 2012 as
                      part of the Swedish delegation; and lectured on
                      the internet governance process and
                      multi-stakeholderism at Swedish universities. I am
                      also a member of the Swedish Reference group on
                      Internet Governance formed by the Swedish Post and
                      Telecom Authority. <br>
                      <br>
                      I am currently in the process of finishing a PhD
                      in Media Studies at Södertörn University in
                      Stockholm on the topic of creating public digital
                      infrastructures for cultural production. <br>
                      <br>
                      One of the topics that interests me most at the
                      moment concerns the ways in which fiber optic
                      connectivity and online platforms reconfigure the
                      role of data centre infrastructure providers to
                      become energy suppliers in different locations
                      across Europe.<br>
                      If I am elected as a board member of EURALO, I
                      will be interested in discussing more this ongoing
                      change, and try to assess its implications on the
                      power of ISPs and data centre operators in
                      relation to internet governance, as well as their
                      implications on consumers. Other issues that
                      interest me are cyberwarfare and cybersecurity
                      across Europe, as well as their regulation.<br>
                      <br>
                      I am fluent in English, Swedish, Bulgarian and
                      Russian. <o:p></o:p></p>
