I agree, and let me say that I really appreciated the way that all of 
us, and specifically those who were most attached to the issues of 
incorporation and individual membership such as you and Christoph, 
worked together to reach an acceptable compromise.

For the process you propose, I would like to stick to the process we 
agreed - if I remember well you were not in the meeting on Tuesday 
morning, so I am reattaching the document that was approved. There is 
not much difference, except that the idea is to first elect the Board 
and ALAC reps (so that I can finally leave my seat...), then let the 
EURALO Board instruct the discussion. Of course the EURALO Board could 
then delegate a working group - in any case I think that you necessarily 
have to be in this discussion (you'd be a good EURALO Board member 
anyway, and I think that the people who were most active in the 
discussions up to here are natural candidates for a strong initial 
EURALO Board, that can ensure a good continuation of the process).

So I'd build on the timeline we agreed, and if we can have a EURALO 
Board elected by May 10 - and maybe work in parallel to develop a 
proposal on the open issues - we could still try to have a virtual GA at 
mid June, just before Puerto Rico. It really depends on how hard we work.

About the last two points:

> ALAC reps should start after Easter.

In Lisbon, we agreed to have nominations between tomorrow and April 14, 
and to have the Chair elected by the Board. I would not reopen the 
discussion until we really feel the need to (and we approved the Bylaws 
and procedure in Lisbon, so what do we do if someone complains?).

BTW - There are not so many participants to the initial vote, so I would 
expect that it won't be a vote on a huge scale; and that's reasonable 
for a bootstrapping procedure. Actually, I would like it if we could 
find consensus on a slate of candidates and make the vote a formality, 
like APRALO did.
