Thanks for your note - only ALSes would be able to sign the MoU I'm afraid, and accredited ALSes.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 04/04/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Wolf Ludwig</b> <<a href="mailto:wolf.ludwig@comunica-ch.net">

After all the discussions about roles and rights of individuals at ALS / EURALO, I followed so far, I am still not sure whether individuals "attached to the cause of EURALO" can sign the MoU? Thanks for clarifications,

<br>><br>>To recap:<br>><br>>* the meetings in Lisbon were successful! The EURALO has been brought into<br>>existence at last!<br>><br>>* an MoU was agreed and was signed by ICANN and by 10 ALSes. It has been
<br>>posted for public comment, as have all MoUs, and that notice can be seen at:<br>><a href="http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-3-30mar07.htm">http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-3-30mar07.htm
</a><br>><br>>* Bylaws and a procedure for electing the initial EURALO board and ALAC reps<br>>were also agreed in Lisbon. Whilst the dates have been the subject of a good<br>>deal of debate, the Lisbon agreed procedure has not been criticised which is
<br>>of course very positive. This can be found at:<br>><a href="https://st.icann.org/euralo/index.cgi?nominations_2007">https://st.icann.org/euralo/index.cgi?nominations_2007</a><br>><br>>* Any ALS that wishes to digitally sign the MoU can do so until the end of
<br>>the public comment period on 20th April by sending the text at the bottom of<br>>this email to me, copied to the discuss list at<br>><a href="mailto:euro-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org">euro-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org
</a>. Obviously, I'm sure those who signed<br>>would prefer that all ALSes join them.<br>><br>>* Any ALS who does NOT wish to sign is still automatically a member of the<br>>EURALO. See Section 3 of the MoU, at
<br>><a href="https://st.icann.org/euralo/index.cgi/european-ralo-mou-en-FINAL.pdf?action=attachments_download;page_name=ralo_organising_instruments;id=20070331180551-0-7795">https://st.icann.org/euralo/index.cgi/european-ralo-mou-en-FINAL.pdf?action=attachments_download;page_name=ralo_organising_instruments;id=20070331180551-0-7795
</a><br>><br>>* If the EURALO CHOSE to do so, it COULD decide to limit some - but<br>>definitely not all - of the rights of the ALSes who do NOT agree to be bound<br>>by the MoU. Please see the MoU, Section 6, Clause 4, at the above link. IF
<br>>such limitations were to be proposed, those ALSes who have signed the MoU<br>>would almost certainly have the right to vote on that PARTICULAR measure,<br>>and those which have not signed or agreed to be bound would almost certainly
<br>>NOT have the right to vote on that PARTICULAR proposal. However:<br>><br>>* At the present time, NO LIMITATIONS ON NON-SIGNING ALSes HAVE BEEN<br>>PROPOSED OR AGREED. Therefore, ALL ALSes IN EUROPE HAVE FULL RIGHTS TO
<br>>PARTICIPATE IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE EURALO. There has been some question about<br>>this raised in previous emails. I hope this reinforces that there is nothing<br>>to worry about.<br>><br>>* Discussion on voting and nominations is now open on the euro-discuss list.
