[EURO-Discuss] Nominations

[Jeanette Hofmann]

Hi,

thank you, Wolfgang, for nominating me. I needed to think about the 
nomination for a while, since, as some of you know, I have always been 
very much against a regionally structured at large membership. Moreover, 
I have always argued for an at large membership based mainly on 
individual instead of organizational participation.

Yet, I accept the nomination for a board seat despite the fact that I 
oppose ALAC's/ EURALO's structure. There is just one reason why I run 
for a board seat of EURALO. I want ICANN's at large membership to become 
a home for meaningful and direct, that is unfiltered and 
non-hierarchical participation by individuals.

For those of you who don't know me: I got involved with ICANN in summer 
2000 during the at large elections. On behalf of ALAC I served twice on 
the NomCom. During WSIS I co-chaired, together with Adam Peake, for two 
years the Internet Governance Caucus. Right now, I am a member of the 
advisory group that helps preparing the Internet Governance Forum. As a 
daytime job, I work as a researcher with a public academic institute in 
Berlin, Germany.

Best, Jeanette
