<div>Folks,</div>
<div>I am extremely worried by this lack of interest in getting a deeper involvement in the Leadership Team.</div>
<div>Personally, I am already overcommitted for other activities, inside and outside the ICANN ecosystem, and moreover I belong to the already overrepresented Western Europe.</div>
<div>However, facing now the risk of not having a sufficient number of candidates, I have decided to put my name in the hat, with the understanding that the time I will be able to dedicate to the EURALO Board will be limited.</div>
<div>If at least two candidates will show up, I will withdraw my candidature. Also, if during the two-year term new people, maybe some of the young new faces that have recently joined our community, decide that they will be ready to step up to a leadership
position, I will happily resign and free up my slot.</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Roberto</div>
