[LAC-Discuss] "Conflict of Interest"?

Wed Oct 1 20:04:14 EDT 2008

Estimado Andrés y amigos

Creo que es momento de volver a nuestros temas y dejar de lado está
discusión que puede convertirse en una cacería contra Erick por su manera de
pensar, que si bien puede parecer inoportuna o muy personal, por lo que veo
se enmarca en un fundamento legal.

Me parece que debemos estar unidos y dejar de lado aquellas molestias
personales que nos llevan a hacer comentarios fuera de lugar o que pueden
ofender a los representantes de las ALS´s y hablo por todos y para todos.

Los invito a que dejemos de lado nuestras posiciones personales y cerremos
filas sobre nuestros problemas y el respaldo que necesita el único candidato
que se interesó en participar y que siguiendo con nuestra costumbre de
estabilidad ahora tendrá mayor peso y experiencia para seguir
representándonos y seguro que lo hará mejor, sin desmerecer su esfuerzo
previo.

Espero que nuestros siguientes email ocupen nuestro valioso tiempo en
cuestiones de importancia para nuestros representados.

Saludos cordiales,

José Luis Barzallo

Asunto: [LAC-Discuss] "Conflict of Interest"?

Dear All, 

I will like to share some thoughts with you. When I was reading Erik´s mails
and, specially his last request I had a strange feeling. It is public his
position as Executive Director of LACTLD and his current job in that
institution which gathers and represents the interest of the entities who
administrates ccTLD in the countries of the regions (some comercial, some
governamental).

Despite he said in his previous e-mail that he was talking as Alfa Redi´s
Representative in LACRALO and not as LACTLD Director, that position didn´t
convinced me at all. I´m aware that ALFA REDI is a Civil Society
Organization, making activities in the region an somehow "representing"
individual users. I can say that no doubt Alfa Redi as an organization
deserves to be recognized as an ALS´s. 

But also, every starting law student should know that the idea of "Conflict
of Interest" is possible talking about persons or organizations. I know it
is perfectly right to be a multi-task person and to work in civil society
and to businnes at the same time. I´m also like that and many other LACRALO
members are. But is different being involved in "Non Comercial Activities"
that being at the same time, in the same or strongly related issues, and in
the same exact region the voice of Businnes and also of users. 

The point of having User´s Representatives is to listen and taking in
consideration the imput of the "weak part", the voice and the special
interest of the users. Perhaps users opinion in some moment would be the
same that Businnes opinion. But to let the possibility to be different is
the reason which justifies the existence of both spaces. 

Moreover, when we have discussions with only once voice in the complete
opposite direction that the whole users in the region, and that voice is
(casuality?) from one of the leaders of other "Group of Interets", it makes
me a lot of noise in my head. We should, no doubt, allow Alfa Redi to
continue in LACRALO. But, should we allow the LACTLD´s Executive Director to
be pretending to represent users interest when it is obvious that he
doesn´t? Y strongly believe that we must not !

Finally, as I consider myself a plural and democratic person and also as I
wan´t LACRALO to still being a Plural, Wide and Democratic space, I ask
everyone else the opinion.

Warm Regards,

Andrés

ps: Plus, and strictly personally, I miss the (short) time when AR used to
make interesting contributions to the users view in LACRALO (and miss
Ruddy).
