Here my analysis to share with you all related to the proposal amendments. I
am not sure due my commit with NOMCOMM if I will will be able to participate
in all sessions, so I decided to share my opinions with all of you.

Point I have something to say in highlight below.

Thanks 

 VANDA 


 Points proposed by one group

My comments 


1)      the right of ALSes to vote in LACRALO affairs determined by a
minimum level of participation

This is positive


2)       working languages expanded to French and Portuguese

I don´t see need and may be too expensive.  But this is not a main concern.
( but I don´t see APRALO working in the  more than 20 languages they have
there 


3)      removes the concept of operating by consensus

>From my point of view this is against one of ICANN´s principle – build
consensus 


4)      creation of Vice President

 Those persons  cannot be added to the normal representation at ALAC without
the decision of ALAC itself.  Not for LACRALO to decide. See also below on
item  8


5)      terms of President and Vice President eligible for two terms of 2
years each

This make some sense, since representation in ALAC demands some degree of
learning, so one year is short term indeed.  But the second term  shall be
one  year to allow others to participate. 


6)      creation of Vice Secretariat position

Same of vice president


7)      LACRALO would elect 2 persons to serve on ALAC and 2 others as their

respective alternates (diversity requirements shall not apply to elected
ALAC member and their alternate). 

 I disagree  -  diversity shall apply. The principles of ICANN states on
diversity. The concentration of persons from just one country for instance,
is not democratic neither safe for the organization.  ( imagine if the two
big countries Mexico and Brazil decide to make a strong movement to take
over this group, can be control all the positions) really not safe. Must
have diversity.


8)      The alternate or deputy can assume the ALAC rep in case of any
inability of the primary ALAC rep

I believe this shall be submitted to ALAC, We cannot decide next time the
member sent to ALAC meeting is another…   


9)      the ALAC member can be re-elected for a 2nd two year term

Reelection has the same principle  1 year for second term to allow others to
participate. 


10)   creation of a LACRALO Directory or LACRALO Board with administrative
and operative functions. This will comprise the persons elected in LACRALO
(President, Vice-President, Secretary, Deputy Secretary, the two LACRALO
elected representatives to ALAC and their alternates) and five Policy
Directors who would lead different working groups within LACRALO and in
charge of selecting members within their working groups. Policy Directors
would be elected by the General Assembly by simple majority.

 

In my opinion this will mean “ too much generals and no troops to command”
but no impact at all. 

  3 would be good – one member of Caribbean region and two from  Latin
region – too keep diversity and at same time be reasonable ( there is no
much members that really works in LACRALO so I don´t believe it will be
groups enough to work under 5 policy directors). But  not so relevant 


11)   establishing that elections can take place virtually

This is good, but  needs clear tools must be available to avoid  one member
to  vote for all the ALSs under  its “command” -  only allow this after
check the security of the tool. 


12)     amendments would be applicable to existing mandates of President,
Secretary

I am not in favor of that, only if was to have just one more year term. 

Application of the change in benefice of the existing elected members looks
manipulation. 

Same people can be candidate and be elected, but extending the mandate,
looks not democratic. That´s the way ditactors use to keeping in place…
Totally against. 


13)   The constitution of the Board of LACRALO be held after the first
election to be held immediately at the time of these amendments be approved.

 Not so relevant.
