Dear friends, our virtual general assembly is approaching and with it
a topic that I would like to share.
Both Harold and I are of the idea of being able to open participation to
all and the greater places of participation in the region, the better
opportunities for involvement exist in the region.
The COVID 19 pandemic wreaked havoc on this issue and worsened the
participation in all aspects of our relational life, including
ICANN and LACRALO.
We have a debt of modifying the metric rules to which they are
tied in some way our rules of procedure and our
operating principles and that it will somehow curtail the possibility of
participation of some ALS and we are concerned.
The rules say the following:
* "Article 11. 6" Article 11.6: On the Quorum: In the case of
an Ordinary or Extraordinary General Assembly, the quorum to meet is
will understand constituted with half plus one of the active ALS in first
call and with the ALS present whatever their number, 20
minutes after the time established for its opening. "*
As can be seen from this text, the term "Active" is tied to the
metric rules. This implies that very few ALS will be able to participate in the
General Assembly. And I believe that it is not feasible in this framework to make the
metrics document and the categorization of "Active and Inactive" to the
ALS in this exceptional Pandemic setting.
I do believe that other metric rules have to be redesigned.
adjust to reality, as well as an honesty of our region,
Nobody escapes that although we are 61 ALS, the number of active ALS is different
in the region, but I think this is not the ideal time to be in
positions that compromise the possibility of participation.
My position is that everyone can participate whether they have had or not
active participation. without detriment to this, if there is a sufficient number of
ALS to suggest that my proposal is unfeasible and that we should apply this
rigorously, let's review this topic with Harold and adjust to
the general ones of the law according to article 11.6 of our rules of
process.
I wait for comments if there were any, since I have to be clear about
where we should march in our Virtual General Assembly.
I greet you with my greatest affection
