Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
on 4 September 2017, At-Large Staff initiated a call for candidates
for the position of EURALO Secretary. The position that came up for
renewal was held so far by the incumbent Wolf Ludwig.<br>
<br>
I have been informed by staff who have updated the EURALO
Secretariat Election Page on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Secretariat+Election+2017">https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Secretariat+Election+2017</a>,
that one self-nomination was received from Olawale Bakare - his SOI
being available on the election page.<br>
<br>
<b>No application having been received from anyone else, unless I
hear to the contrary within 24H (consensus call), I would propose
that we welcome Olawale (Wale) Bakare as the next EURALO Secretary
by acclamation. </b><br>
<br>
Wolf and Wale have already been in touch with each other and Wolf
has proposed mentoring Wale as much as possible to help him into the
position. The new candidate will assume his position starting at the
end of the ICANN AGM in Abu Dhabi.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond<br>
EURALO Chair<br>
