Although most of time I've been lurking here because the Whois RT, I'm
following some important discussions and here goes my two cents on Vanda's
commentaries and also taking into consideration Jacqueline's last email
about Brazil being "excluded" from the definitions.

I partially agree. If the target is more participation, the language
should't be the barrier - I mean, only Brazil (and perhaps Portugal, Cabo
Verde) will benefit from portuguese and French Guiana, Suriname and Haiti
(directly) from french. If we consider Brazil should have more ALS it means
we should have more brazilian structures beyond english/spanish spoken ones
to a real representative participationtion.

+1. If the adopted model is to Brazil and Haiti (taking the same
example) has the same weight as countries (and doesn't matter the population
rate), it's the same if Haiti (or Brazil, or Uruguai) has 3 or 13 ALS
delegates. They should reach consensus anyway.
