<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri">EURALO COMMUNIQUE</p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri"> </p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri">As the home of
Internet users throughout the European continent, EURALO expresses deep concern
for the safety and well-being of the population of Ukraine. While the EURALO's
work is not guided by ideological preferences or religious beliefs, we strongly
condemn the current attack on Ukraine, as it constitutes a unilateral act of
aggression against a sovereign state and member of the United Nations. This aggression
is not defensible under international law. In fact, it violates the
Minsk Agreement of 2015, and is contrary to the rule of law.</p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri"> </p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri">By this communiqué,
EURALO</p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri">- Expresses its
esteem for all its members as citizens of the European continent;</p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri">- Fully supports
their equal rights as Europeans, and as individual users of the Internet;</p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri">- Insists that the
Internet must remain intact and a universal tool for communication and
cooperation, without political, ideological or religious constraints;</p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri">- Calls upon the
ICANN Board and CEO to ensure the stability and resiliency of the Internet
Naming System infrastructure in Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe;</p>

<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri">- Urges ICANN to
ensure that the availability of the .UA domain is preserved in its entirety.</p>
