Wed Jul 29 00:38:05 UTC 2015

Good evening all,

It is correct that I was informed via phone call by the Secretary that
members of the RALO in BA insisted that there be a poll because of the
precedent set by the election of Natalia Enciso. I was not informed however
that the poll serves as the referendum for the nomination with no provision
for the possibility of the majority not supporting the final result.

What therefore is the point of having call for nominations, a nomination
period and then a nominee, when all of this to be derailed by those who in
my opinion believe they have a god given right to every official position
and Heaven forbid any one from the Caribbean having the temerity to wish
the same.

We are now in no man's land where rules are made up as we go along with no
reference to our Rules of Procedure. This is a farce. If there was an issue
with my nomination there was ample time to express this. The information
about the status of the voting process was always there. So we want the
chance to change things despite the fact we weren't paying attention in the
first instance? That is disingenuous and insulting.

Part of me still believes this was a hatchet job. It is time for a honest
discussion in this RALO. If there is the belief that the Caribbean
constituency really has, or should not  have any significant part to play
here, let that be articulating clearly and then ways can be explored for us
to leave.

In the interim, I think I speak for the rest of my Caribbean colleagues
when I suggest that strong consideration be given to having the ombudsman
help us with this unsettling state of affairs.

Best regards
