[lac-discuss-en] [lac-discuss-es] VOTE ANNOUNCEMENT (ES): Votar en 2019 LACRALO Elecciones y Principios Operativos

[Dev Anand Teelucksingh]

Dear Humberto,

As Carlton has said, there is no retroactivity being applied. The terms of
the chair, secretariat and an ALAC member's terms are ending in 2019 under
our previous OP. With the new OP, new positions and new terms for the chair
and secretary and the new positions apply from now on.

As you have stated, your proposal is to have a person in region D to be
chair for a further two years and a person from region B be secretary for a
further two years. Your proposal offers the current chair and secretariat
to be chair and secretariat for three years in all.

I do not understand the rationale in picking the chair elect and secretary
elect from Region B and Region A respectively, nor the selection of another
ALAC member from Region C.

If I understood your proposal, if implemented it would mean that:
- one region will have both ALAC seats every other year.
- the Chair will be from region D for 5 years from 2018 to 2026.
- the secretary will be from region B for 5 years from 2018 up to 2024.

But I may have misunderstood. To prevent misunderstandings, I suggest that
a table be done showing how the terms of the positions and how the election
cycle would work for each year, up to 2026 so we all in LACRALO can fully
understand.
I will do the same for "my" proposal also.

Kind Regards,

Dev Anand

Dear Friends,

Through this email, I allow myself to make a proposal of what I understand
these elections should be.

I do not agree in giving retroactivity to the principle of rotation. This
means that the current leaders (president and secretary) will only be one
year, instead of 2 years as established by the new operating principles.
This is a discrimination that has no basis.

Nor do I agree with the interpretation that Dev presents in its mail about
what he understands about the rotation principle. Dev’s interpretation was
not what we talked about in Puerto Rico. According to my interpretation of
the principle of rotation, this should work in the following way and in
order to explain my point I will use my case as an example: When I finish
my period as ALAC MEMBER (2020), there will be elections for this position.
My interpretation of the principle of rotation has two consequences:

1.- A negative aspect: To choose the person who assume the position of ALAC
Member, this person cannot be from the Andes sub region to which I belong.

2.- A positive aspect: For the next election of Chair - vice-chair and
secretary vice-secretary (2021) there is no impediment that someone from
the region of the Andes should run.

For these reasons, I would like to make the following proposal that starts
from the current positions and sub regions:

PROPOSAL

* To start with the current leadership positions respecting the principle
of Non-Retroactivity of the Law.
* Possibility that all current leaders can be reelected.
* New positions will be elected (vice Chair and vice secretary).

The proposal is the following:

PERÍODO 2019 – 2021

CARGOS

REGIÓN

Chair

D: MERCOSUR

Elected Chair

B ANDES

Secretary

B: ANDES

Elected Secretary

A: CENTRAL

ALAC Member 1

C: CARIBE

Advised by LACRALO to serve within NOMCOM

C: CARIBE

ALAC Member appointed by NOMCOM

Member elected by NOMCOM


I suggest taking Dev's proposal and mine and submitting them to a vote of
LACRALO so that we can move forward.
