EURALO By-Laws Taskforce 

The EURALO By-Laws discussion was centered on the in-corporation of EURALO as well as the ICANN legal department response regarding the EURALO By-Laws.

ICANN Legal response below:

• Please note that ICANN org is not providing legal advice to EURALO in undertaking this review and has not reviewed the Articles or EURALO’s establishment for accuracy under Swiss law or for other legal issues. Instead, ICANN org’s review is limited to ensuring consistency with the EURALO MoU and ICANN Bylaws. See the attached with inline redlines which addresses that limited review. 

• Regarding the use of the ICANN engagement office in Geneva as the registered office location of the EURALO, kindly note that the ICANN org postal address should not be used.

• Also, there is reference in the Articles to other documents that have not been provided for review, including reference to “exhibits” and the EURALO Rules of Procedure.
