Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
it is my pleasure and honour to be able to announce that the new
EURALO Articles of Association have been adopted according to its
previous Bylaws. Staff will follow-up sharing the exact details of
the vote.<br>
<br>
Our EURALO Bylaws Task Force has spent more than 3 years debating
and drafting them, as the our original, "old" Bylaws were completely
out of date and inappropriate.<br>
<br>
At this point in time, I would like to thank the members of the Task
Force on Review and Revision of EURALO Bylaws. Members of the group
are listed on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://community.icann.org/x/iAZ1Aw">https://community.icann.org/x/iAZ1Aw</a><br>
<br>
But I would also like to recognise two people in particular who have
done significant, tedious work, in this process: Mikhail Medrish,
who led the initial work of the group in reviewing the original
Bylaws to estimate the level of re-writing needed. The second
person, who has held the pen with the new draft and has displayed
expertise in being able to accompany the process in a complex
environment that had to mix the needs of our community with a format
of Swiss Articles - supposedly the simplest in Europe - was Florian
Hule. Congratulations!<br>
It is thanks to the work of volunteers that EURALO can evolve. The
next step will be to also design Operating Rules for EURALO - a
formalisation how this Regional At-Large Organisation can operate
its processes, from elections, to reporting its activities, to
selection of representatives on committees etc. I hope you will be
many volunteers to carry this work forward.<br>
<br>
Warmest regards,<br>
<br>
