After facing some problems with the EURALO-list, Jeanette and I
would like to forward you the following announcement:
Hi all,
thanks to Jeanette for taking the initiative. I fully agree with the
summary of our late discussions. Being aware about Jeanette's
time constraints I personally would prefer the option of a co-chair.
I am pleased to confirm the announcement of our candidature.
Best regards,
Wolf

Hi everyone,
it seems the election of the ALAC members and of the EURALO board was so
traumatic that a rather lively list fell dead silent after we got the
results. There is something destructiv or at least polarizing about
majority votes, they don't do justice to minorities. How to deal with
this situation?
First of all, the board needs to become operational, and it needs a
chair. If we are lucky, the tasks of the coming months will help us to
overcome or at least alleviate some of the cleavages we have seen on
this list.
Wolf Ludwig and I have talked about the election of the chair and we
have decided to run as a duo either with him as chair and me as
vice-chair or the two of us as co-chairs. We both have very positive
experience with co-chairing. We are not aware that the bylaws would
prohibit such a solution.
I want to be frank though as I am afraid of over-committing myself. As
some of you know, I am going to move to London in early autumn and start
a new job. Thus I cannot commit a lot of time to this task in the coming
months and I would see myself rather in the role of assisting Wolf and
the board with whatever objectives they plan to accomplish.
If this seems acceptable Wolf and I would like to announce our candidature.
Best, Jeanette
