Kindly note 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.

Selection and performance criteria for EURALO Board members 2015
Nominations :
| Candidate | Nominated by | Country of Origin/Country of Residence | Expression of Interest |
| Erich Schweighofer | Jean-Jacques Subrenat | Austria | |
Julia Velkova | Sebastien Bachollet | Bulgaria/Sweden | With a degree in telecommunication engineering, I have been an ISOC member since 2004, and ISOC-Bulgaria’s chapter project leader for nearly a decade. Prior to that I have worked as a programmer and technical consultant at the Bulgarian Council of Ministers on issues related to e-governance, as well as part of the free software community in Bulgaria. I have led and brought to successful completion projects ranging from e-governance on the Balkans; free software in public administrations in South-Eastern Europe; to creating knowledge infrastructures for open culture in Scandinavia. Since 2008 I live in Sweden from where I have co-consulted the Republic of Kosovo on the TLD process; participated in WCIT in Dubai in 2012 as part of the Swedish delegation; and lectured on the internet governance process and multi-stakeholderism at Swedish universities. I am also a member of the Swedish Reference group on Internet Governance formed by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority. I am currently in the process of finishing a PhD in Media Studies at Södertörn University in Stockholm on the topic of creating public digital infrastructures for cultural production. One of the topics that interests me most at the moment concerns the ways in which fiber optic connectivity and online platforms reconfigure the role of data centre infrastructure providers to become energy suppliers in different locations across Europe. If I am elected as a board member of EURALO, I will be interested in discussing more this ongoing change, and try to assess its implications on the power of ISPs and data centre operators in relation to internet governance, as well as their implications on consumers. Other issues that interest me are cyberwarfare and cybersecurity across Europe, as well as their regulation. I am fluent in English, Swedish, Bulgarian and Russian |
