Selection and performance criteria for EURALO Board members 2015


Call for nominations 

The current EURALO Board term ends on 9 December 2019. EURALO's Chair and Secretariat would like to announce a call for nominations to fill Board positions for the next 2 years (10 December 2019 – 9 December 2021). This call is made in accordance with the EURALO Articles of Association and Selection and performance criteria for EURALO Board members 2015. In addition, there is a need to for Board members as a whole to share responsibilities with the EURALO Chair and Secretariat in assuming the following topics:


  1. Legal issues
  2. Policy Development
  3. Communication including leading the work on the EURALO website/WIKI/Facebook page.
  4. Outreach with communities outside ICANN
     

Please note the rules and agreements applicable to this election at: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/euro-discuss/2015-November/004161.html. In accordance with these agreements, kindly note:

  1. The size of the EURALO Board will be 5 members, plus ex-officio, the EURALO Chair and EURALO Secretary;
  2. There should be a maximum limit of 1 Board member per country;
  3. Each EURALO At-Large Structure will be given 5 votes that they will need to cast on 5 people;
  4. As is the usual custom in votes involving people, votes will take place by secret ballot;
  5. The Board will be selected for a two-years-term; and as a novelty: not performing Board members can be recalled after one year to allow to be replaced by better candidates.


The EURALO Board should be balanced but EURALO has not reached a consensus on having direct absolute criteria for geographical (East/Western Europe) or gender criteria. As geographical and gender balance are important in our region, I ask you to consider these issues when making your selection.


Please submit your nominations and self-nominations starting Tuesday 3 December until Monday 9 December 23:59 UTC  by sending an email to the EURALO mailing list and coping At – Large staff staff@atlarge.icann.org .  All candidates who accept their nominations by the deadline above must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).
