Dear EURALO members,

a request has been made to petition for Sébastien Bachollet to be added
to the shortlist of candidates for the ICANN Board Director selection by
At-Large. This has received support from several ALSes. I have not
received any objection to this suggestion. In any case, the only way to
proceed with the petition reaquires a vote in EURALO.

According to the procedure listed below, I have notified the BMSPC of
the identification of Sébastien Bachollet in EURALO as a potential
candidate to add to the list.
We now have 10 days to conduct a EURALO vote on this. Other RALOs will
also need to conduct a vote should they wish to support this addition.
Staff will set-up the vote accordingly.

Kindest regards,

Olivier
