all<BR> <BR>also from my side welcome back to the business.<BR>
<BR>I fully support Robertos and Wolfs approach and also the two
additional points raised by Anette. We should also now draft a work plan
2008 which should include<BR>a. events (also national and sub-regional
meerings like related workshops, conferences, meetings etc.) <BR>b. thematic
papers on ICANN issues (both themes mentioned by ICANN could be the subject
of such an "EURALO Thematic Paper Series"<BR> <BR>Furthermore, the
ICANN Studienkreis will have its 9th meeting in Helsinki, September 4 - 5,
2009. Like in Warsaw (and Prague) we start on Thursday afternoon. So
Thursday, September 4, 2008 morning could be used for another EURALO
outreach meeting, this time in the Nother part of Europe, the Baltics and
Russia.<BR> <BR>Best regards<BR> <BR>wolfgang<BR> <BR><BR>

Conference<BR>To: Discussion for At-Large Europe<BR>

<C3B187DD.F47A%drake@hei.unige.ch><BR>Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="ISO-8859-1"<BR><BR>Hi Wolf,<BR><BR>Thanks for this useful
reboot, I look forward to discussing these ideas and<BR>the others regarding
policy work on the conference call. One organizational<BR>point in the
meanwhile: You raise the idea of a board/summit OC meeting in<BR>Geneva on
Monday 25 Feb. before the IGF. I was toying with the idea of<BR>doing
a different sort of IG-related workshop at the Graduate Institute on<BR>that
day, but could put that idea aside for now if there is sufficient<BR>
critical mass to do a board/OC meeting instead. Barring an unusual<BR>
circumstance in which all the conference rooms are busy that day, I
should<BR>be able to host such a meeting with the requisite libations etc.
But before<BR>I look into the logistics and budget it would be helpful
to know whether<BR>enough of us would be interested and able to attend.
If people could let me<BR>know whether they'd be available that'd be
helpful.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Bill<BR><BR>On 1/14/08 3:19 AM, "Wolf Ludwig"

creation<BR>> of EURALO our RALO and its list fall in agony at the second
part of last year.<BR>> There were some signs and expressions of
frustration and it seems to be<BR>> difficult to define and find a way
out of this prevailing silence.<BR><BR>Thanks to<BR>> S?bastien who took
the initiative a week ago we have to make another effort<BR>> now ? to
restart with a telephone conference at least. After a phone call I<BR>>
had with S?bastien, we both believe there is a unique chance for EURALO
ahead<BR>> that we cannot miss. Thanks to S?bastien and some RALO-friends
from North<BR>> America, there was this great idea and project of a
User?s Summit to be<BR>> organised and held along the ICANN meeting this
summer in Paris ? as one of<BR>> the outcomes of the LA meeting in autumn
07. <BR><BR>This project offers a real and<BR>> unique chance for us to
re-animate and revitalize our cause, commitments and<BR>> legitimacy.
Some of us (S?bastien, Wolfgang, Annette and I etc.) are supposed<BR>> to
participate at ICANN?s next meeting in February in New Delhi having a<BR>
> chance to discuss and elaborate some more planning and organisational
details<BR>> there. What we do need is not much: Three to five people
from EURALO (or even<BR>> more), besides S?bastien, Annette and me, to
take the initiative and to<BR>> establish an EURALO organisational
committee (OC) for the User?s<BR>> Summit.<BR><BR>Almost immediately
after ICANN?s New Delhi meeting there is another<BR>> IGF-preparatory
consultation meeting foreseen in Geneva (26 ? 28 Feb. 08)<BR>> offering
an opportunity for some more of us (Jeanette, Bill, Karen) to meet in<BR>
> Geneva ? as a combined board and OC meeting. Such a prep. meeting in
Geneva,<BR>> let?s say on Monday 25 February, will be easy to organize
there ? and I will<BR>> try to find some sponsoring money for it if
needed. The main goal and outcome<BR>> of it would be a concise draft of
project for the User?s Summit in summer.<BR>> After such a prep. meeting
we would have about four months to get the work<BR>> done on a common
EURALO project. And thereby we could hopefully revitalize and<BR>>
strengthen EURALO?s capacities (-- otherwise I cannot imagine any other
way<BR>> out for EURALO?s future). <BR><BR>Please let us know your ideas
about this appeal<BR>> and who is interested to work with S?bastien,
Annette and me on this<BR>> project.<BR><BR>According to S?bastien?s
Doodle-Survey the best date and time for<BR>> our Phone Conference is<BR>
Thursday 17 January 2008 at 16h00 UTC (= 17h Paris<BR>> time).<BR>I would
kindly like to ask Nick to care about the necessary<BR>> arrangements for
this Tel-Conf. next Thursday (Thanks!)<BR><BR>Best<BR>> regards,<BR>
