a need to for Board members as a whole to share responsibilities with the EURALO Chair and Secretariat in assuming the following topics:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">1. Legal issues<br>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">1. The size of the EURALO Board will be 5 members, plus ex-officio, the EURALO Chair and EURALO Secretary;</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">2. There should be a maximum limit of 1 Board member per country;

<p class="x_MsoNormal">3. Each EURALO At-Large Structure will be given 5 votes that they will need to cast on 5 people;</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">4. As is the usual custom in votes involving people, votes will take place by secret ballot;</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">5. The Board will be selected for a two-years-term; and as a novelty: not performing Board members can be recalled after one year to allow to be replaced by better candidates.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The EURALO Board should be balanced but EURALO has not reached a consensus on having direct absolute criteria for geographical (East/Western Europe) or Gender criteria. As geographical and gender balance are important in our region, I
ask you to consider these issues when making your selection. </p>
