 Asunto: Re: AVISO VOTO: 2015 VOTO PARA REPRESENTANTE LACRALO ALAC / 2015 VOTO PARA REPRESENTANTE A LA LACRALO ALAC 
 De: carlton.samuels en gmail.com

 Estimado Chris: 
 En esto estoy absolutamente seguro. En LACRALO, una asamblea general es un físico 
 así como una reunión virtual en virtud de los detalles. 


 La convocatoria de un voto es una asamblea general. ¿Por qué? Todos los miembros son 
 credenciales y que se considere la actualidad. 


 La pregunta ante la asamblea es el voto. El plazo fijado para la 
 duración es el período del debate sobre la cuestión. 


 La moción elevada sobre una cuestión de orden es hacia la cuestión antes de la 
 Asamblea. 


 La moción es clara; la cuestión antes de la asamblea es inadecuado, la 
 asamblea es ilegal y es el resultado de las infracciones de las normas de 
 procedimiento. Es el liderazgo que es responsable. Y la asamblea debe 
 disolverse.


 Se disuelve la asamblea, siempre y cuando una moción de censura en el 
 se pasa el liderazgo. 


 Mi moción debe ser resuelto antes de tomar la pregunta antes de la asamblea. 


 El Presidente tiene la obligación de llevar a mi movimiento ahora a votación. 


 El hecho de que somos virtual no rescindir o de cualquier manera subvertir el 
 Regla de la Orden. 


 Cualquier acción que destruye una candidatura válida está corrompiendo el proceso. 


 Cualquier acción que subvierte el imperio de la orden también corrompe el proceso. 


 No se trata de apaciguamiento. Se trata de la regla. 


 Saludos cordiales, 
 Ritz-Carlton Samuels
