Dear EURALO members,<br>
<br>
a request has been made to petition for Sébastien Bachollet to be
added to the shortlist of candidates for the ICANN Board Director
selection by At-Large. This has received support from several ALSes.
I have not received any objection to this suggestion. In any case,
the only way to proceed with the petition reaquires a vote in
EURALO.<br>
<br>
According to the procedure listed below, I have notified the BMSPC
of the identification of Sébastien Bachollet in EURALO as a
potential candidate to add to the list.<br>
We now have 10 days to conduct a EURALO vote on this. Other RALOs
will also need to conduct a vote should they wish to support this
addition. Staff will set-up the vote accordingly.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
