The Board is to review the EURALO main document, because this// //document today is far from the reality, from what we are doing. This is// //the main problem for the first period. Afterwards, we will try to write// //down what the EURALO Board is and what the tasks are that we’ll work// //during the next period of time, until the  EURALO// //Board selection period. I suppose it’s necessary to do that. Thank you./

D.      The section 7 of the Articles of Association defines the possibility of periodical and extraordinary membership fees the amount of which determines the General Assembly. These regulaions are still not put into action. I know from my experience that even the existence of such possibilities in Bylaw can be a deterrent for potential ALSes on joining EURALO.

 Again, I am really excited to be able to work with you. I hope we will  be able to be proactive throughout the year and bring that much needed  energy to our EURALO members, to make EURALO inviting, exciting and  effective.

• Thanks Olivier, great strategy summary.
• I'd propose to agree on some actionable action items for each of the points, so we can set a plan and define owners, deliverables and datelines. The same if other people have more proposals.

Dear all,

as agreed during the last EURALO teleconference, please find below my
main goal for this term as Board member.

We have a running purpose and raison d'etre in participating in the
development of policies for the DNS. This is already running.

But this main objective is in danger if we are not able to increase
participation and to incorporate new people in these activities. It's a
mater of increasing diversity of viewpoints and be able to do more,
taking into account that we are all volunteers and that we invest in
EURALO/ICANN our free time after our standard working hours.

So my main objective would be to help improve internal EURALO processes
to increase participation, lower the entry barriers for new people to
join and participate in WG, and speed up the learning curve.

Your feedback and support will be really welcome

thanks,
jordi

The implementation of #28 has started in various degrees at the RALO's, but so far mainly as a statistical exercise. What are needed are concrete data about what kind of specialized expertise is available from which ALS's, and names and contact details of people who are willing to give their input to the policy/advice development work.  I suggest that EURALO takes it upon itself to devise a mechanism for getting this information, for its own benefit and as an example to others.

Best,

Yrjö

As a Board member, I would like to explore this notion with the other members of EURALO. Below are some preliminary questions: - why the Internet (and especially domain name policies) is essentially seen by the politics as an economic tool and not a societal or cultural one? - can we share a compromise to consider some parts of the Internet as a common good? - how to improve the visibility of final users in the ICANN and how to have more weight on the policy making (related to accountability)?
