Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
as we are reaching another cycle of appointments, with a new EURALO
Board ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://atlarge.icann.org/ralos/euralo">https://atlarge.icann.org/ralos/euralo</a> ) needing to be
selected and seated by the end of year, I am following up on the
thread below.<br>
This is a public discussion between Jean-Jacques Subrenat and me,
regarding the consideration to assign specific responsibilities to
EURALO Board members.<br>
<br>
I have passed this by the current (outgoing) EURALO Board and
received little response. Thus I am turning to you, the community
that will select the next EURALO Board, to define the positions of
future EURALO Board members.<br>
<br>
At present, the following positions are suggested:<br>
<br>
1. Legal Reference Point<br>
2. Primary Contract point for ALSes (Inreach Lead)<br>
3. Policy Development Lead<br>
4. ?<br>
5. ?<br>
<br>
Suggestions welcome, ahead of next week's conference call, where we
shall be discussing this.<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

Dear Jean-Jacques,<br>
<br>
thank you for your follow-up. First, a quick correction to
Silvia's
email address, as you appear to have it as <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:no-reply@icann.org" moz-do-not-send="true">no-reply@icann.org</a>
which is when
one updates WIKI pages. I have amended Silvia's address
accordingly.<br>
Please find my comments interspersed in your text.<br>

Currently, and unless I’m mistaken, the EURALO Board
has 11
members. In the past twelve months, about a third of
these members
have intervened in EURALO monthly meetings (audio,
chat or
emails).</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
The EURALO Board actually has only 5 members:<br>
<ul>
<li>
<p><span style="color: rgb(31,73,125);">Olawale
(‘Wale) Shakiru
BAKARE - United Kingdom</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p> Yrjö Länsipuro - Finland</p>
</li>
<li><strong> </strong>Eric Schweighofer - Austria<br>
</li>
<li> Annette Mühlberg - Germany</li>
<li> Matthieu Camus - France</li>
</ul>
All other "members" - ie. ALAC representatives, Secretary
&
EURALO Chair are ex-officio.<br>
<br>
Originally I asked each member of the EURALO Board to
share with
others what they goals were during their tenancy. These
are
reflected on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

I suggest we consider the following:</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont"

color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height:

<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;">What
are the
essential functions the EURALO Board must undertake
or uphold? Each
item is followed by a recommendation.</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><u>1)
Ensure
conformity of EURALO procedure and actions with
existing legal or
structural obligations</u> (ICANN, ALAC and EURALO
By-laws, Rules
of procedure, Accepted standards in meetings, etc.).
This applies,
but is not limited to: membership, quorum,
elections, rough
consensus.</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><b>Recommendation
1</b>: a Board member with experience in these
areas, and perhaps
with a legal background, should be appointed as the
« Legal
reference point ».</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
Excellent idea.<br>

<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><u>2)
Consolidate
relations with ALAC and other parts of ICANN</u>.
As in most ACs
and SOs, the Chair of EURALO does this, and does it
well (good
visibility, good inter-personal skills, deep
knowledge of the
issues).</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><b>Recommendation
2</b>: no change.</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
I would like to see our ALAC members take an extra care in
fostering the link between ALAC and EURALO. They are our
ambassadors on the ALAC. I would also like to see them
take a
leadership role on the ALAC, like Chairing a working
group. As for
the EURALO Board members, ideally they could chair a
EURALO working
group.<br>

<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><u>3)
Enhance
cooperation between EURALO and its ALSs</u>. Over
the years, this
function has been carried out mainly by the Chair
and/or Secretary.
But with the gradual growth in the number of ALSs,
this now
requires a dedicated approach. Among other areas
where cooperation
would be appreciated: help in launching ALS surveys,
help in
participating in ICANN events, travel and
accommodation support,
etc.</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><b>Recommendation
3</b>: designate a Board member who, with the help
of Support
Staff, would be the prime contact point for all
EURALO ALSs.</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
Would this be an "inreach" officer? I would really support
this
too.<br>

</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><u>4)
Consolidate
EURALO contributions to ALAC and ICANN policy
development</u>. </div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;">One of
the current
tasks is the appraisal of the At-Large Review:
because of its
complexity, but even more because of the
implications of some of
the recommendations in that Review, it is necessary
to make sure
that contributions are made on time, and that they
are
relevant.</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><b>Recommendation
4</b>: designate a Board member who is familiar
with Policy
development in the ICANN ecosystem, and who has a
track record of
making trains depart and arrive on time, at the
right
station.</div>
</div>

Please do so. Jean-Jacques, please email the EURALO list
yourself,
so we can follow-up directly.<br>
