Jean-Jacques Subrenat was nominated (by Roberto Gaetano) for a position on the EURALO Board. His recent and current work as a volunteer on Internet matters includes:

• ICANN Board of Directors (2007-10)
• Member of the ALAC (2010-12, again 2012-14)
• Member of the ICG, appointed by ALAC (since its inception in 2014)
• Member of the NetMundial Initiative inaugural Coordination Council, nominated by EURALO (since its creation in December 2014)
• Member of ISOC Chapters: France, Belgium, San Francisco Bay Area (the latter as its "global ambassador")
• President of IndividualUsers.org (elected in October 2015)

I'm in Internet business for about 20 years. Mainly as a CTO in ISPs. During the period from 2000 to 2014 I was a member of the Council of the Coordination Center for Russia TLDs (nonprofit organization), and two years as a Chair of the Council. From October 2014 I’m a director of the Internet Support Foundation. The Foundation finances projects on the Internet. For example, translation of IETF Journal into Russian.

In case I’m elected to the Board, I plan to initiate a process of updating the EURALO’s Articles of Association. I believe it should be revised.

Actual practices are far from the Articles of Association. Some examples. General Assembly elected a Chair of EURALO, but such role doesn’t mention in the Articles of Association. From the other side General Assembly were to elect Board and at the same time to appoint the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Board, but did not do it. By the way, not the whole Board must be elected, but only a half for 2 years. Another half must be elected next year.
