True. But the ICANN Board has a different role. It must govern the organization, and to do that, to have the fiduciary responsibility of the management of the organization requires a different set of skills, that are not necessarily limited to prior knowledge of the policy development process. In EURALO, the decision-making body is the General Assembly, not the Board. According to our Articles of Association, Article 9.3.2, the Board has the role of implementing the decisions of the GA. And I would argue that familiarity with the EURALO activities is at least a very important requirement for who must implement the GA decisions.<u></u><u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0cm 0cm
