Dear All,

As agreed on the EURALO monthly call<https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/2016.08.23+EURALO+Teleconference>, held on 23 August 25, 2016, EURALO's Chair and Secretariat would like to announce a call for nominations to fill the Board seat vacated by Mikhail Medrish (Russia) who left the ALS, " Internet Support Foundation" on 14 August 2016. This call is made in accordance with the EURALO Articles of Association<https://community.icann.org/display/EURALO/Articles+of+Association> and Selection and performance criteria for EURALO Board members 2015<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/53777046/Performance-criteria_Board_Secretariat.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1444426126000&api=v2>. Please note: For this Board replacement round several candidates may be nominated but only one position is vacant. Since this is for ONE seat, ALSes will have ONE vote only! As we have a limit of 1 Board member per country, citizens of Spain, Finland, Germany and France are not eligible for nomination. For further rules and info see:

The current EURALO Board term is 2 years from 9 December 2015 until 9 December 2017.  The new member will serve for the remaining timeframe  (from 10 September 2016 until 9  December  2017), in alignment  with the current EURALO Board member terms.

Kindly note the EURALO Board should be balanced but EURALO has not reached a consensus on having direct absolute criteria for geographical (East/Western Europe) or Gender criteria. As geographical and gender balance are important in our region, I ask you to consider these issues when making your selection.

Please submit your nominations and self-nominations until 4 September 23:59 UTC by sending an email to the EURALO mailing list and coping At - Large staff staff at atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff at atlarge.icann.org> .
