Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
24H elapsed after the consensus call, with only emails of support
received for Olawale (Wale) Bakare.<br>
<br>
Is it therefore my pleasure to confirm that Wale has been selected
by acclamation as the next EURALO Secretary. As mentioned in my
earlier email, Wolf Ludwig has offered Wale his mentoring assistance
so we have a smooth transition of duties. The hand-over will take
place at the forthcoming ICANN meeting in Abu Dhabi.<br>
<br>
I would like to thank Wolf for his years of faithful service in
EURALO. He has kept EURALO going for so many years - this truly is
an achievement, in a region where everyone is already so busy and
where the potential incentives that can be found on some of the
other continents, are not so significant where people take the
Internet for granted. <br>
The European region spans so large and is so diverse that we have
all sorts of challenges - from the geographical balance that we need
to have, to the fact that some parts of our region have access
problems that are as significant as in poorer parts of the world.
The contrast is such, that ICANN has two Regional VPs to cover the
region. Wolf has successfully navigated this complex environment for
many years, even before the Regional VPs were in place, and I'd like
to really thank him for that. I'd also like to thank him for having
helped me into the position of EURALO Chair. I had worked with him
in the past when I was assuming the position of Secretary and he
taught me a lot. So much so that I consider him not only a
colleague, but also a friend.<br>
<br>
Thank you Wolf.<br>
<br>
Please join me in a round of applause for him.<br>
<br>

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="gmail-m_7527734553767542015moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/EURALO+Secretariat+Election+2017" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/<wbr>display/EURALO/EURALO+<wbr>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>
