I appreciate Vittorio's explanations and hope we take the right directions 
in EURALO's near future. Thanks to all of you who completed MoU and Bylaws
in Lisbon which was a lot of work and an important prerequisite. But I hope
we will find time and energy now to concentrate more on "enabling" or 
"encouraging" factors and details ...

To Vittorio's appeal for more trust - which I strongly support! - I would like
to add: a precondition for trust is transparence! Because (I think it was Werner 
who mentioned it) not all of us are ICANN-ALS professionals dealing on a 
full-time level with these issues. Hope we will find more time now for content
rather than procedures.

Wishing all of you some pleasant Eastern (holi-)days!

Regards,
Wolf
