[ALAC] LACRALO regional advice to ALAC re: ISOC-CR ALS Application

[José Francisco Arce]

Dear All,

LACRALO has reviewed the ALS Application from the ISOC Costa Rica
Chapter (ISOC-CR) and recommends that the ALS application be accepted.

Both the LACRALO chair and secretariat note the following:

* The LACRALO President met the ISOC-CR President, Carlos Carazo at
the regional IGF event in Trinidad and Tobago in August 2011.

* We have reviewed the information provided on the form and ISOC-CR's
website and have found it
sufficient, and futher note that it is hosting an ISOC event, in
collaboration with ICANN in November 2011.

* The LACRALO President has clarified the answer provided to Question
3 in the ISOC-CR's ALS application form.
Question 3 states "Provide support for the statement that your
Organization is self-supporting (by answering "yes" you confirm that
it will not rely on ICANN for funding)". While the response in the
form was "NO",
the LACRALO President has confirmed with ISOC-CR's President that the
question was misunderstood and that ISOC-CR is a self-supporting
organisation and does not rely on ICANN for funding.


Kind Regards,

Jose Francisco Arce
LACRALO President

Dev Anand Teelucksingh
LACRALO Secretariat


For all the above LACRALO advice is to approve the ISOC Costa Rica

application.
