[seedig] Call for volunteers: SEEDIG Legal Entity Working Group

[Sorina Teleanu]

Dear SEEDIG community and supporting organisations, 

Over the past 2-3 years, many of you have called for the creation of a
SEEDIG legal entity, as a step that would help SEEDIG grow, while also
contributing to ensuring its sustainability and addressing current legal
and financial challenges. As the Executive Committee has met
difficulties in making progress on this issue, the Chair of the
Executive Committee, having consulted SEEDIG's main sponsors, is
initiating an open process expected to lead to the establishment of a
SEEDIG legal entity. 

The first step in this process is the CREATION OF A SEEDIG LEGAL ENTITY
WORKING GROUP (SLE WG), tasked with developing a proposal for the
establishment of a SEEDIG legal entity. The proposal will cover aspects
related to the type and structure of the legal entity, as well as the
choice of jurisdiction (the country to host the entity). 

Chaired by Andrea Beccalli, ICANN, the GROUP IS OPEN TO SEEDIG COMMUNITY
MEMBERS, SPONSORS, SUPPORTING ORGANISATIONS AND PARTNERS. The Internet
Society and RIPE Network Coordination Centre have already expressed
interest in joining the WG; others are invited to follow suit. Due to
potential conflicts of interest, members of the Executive Committee will
not be able to volunteer for the WG. They can, however, be invited by
the WG to contribute to certain activities of the group. 

The WG is expected to present its proposal not later than two weeks
before the SEEDIG 6 meeting. The proposal will then be subject to the
approval of the SEEDIG community. Once a decision is made by the
community, the Executive Committee will be responsible for its
implementation. 

In line with the above, a CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS [1]TO JOIN SLE WG IS
HEREBY LAUNCHED. Individuals interested in contributing to this group
are invited to read the WG's guidelines and submit an expression of
interest by 31 OCTOBER 2019. 

Thank you! 

Best regards, 

Sorina
