<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">Dear Committee<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">I am with ICANN since 2000 and have joined LACRALO with the ALS NEXTi as soon I step down from the ICANN Board in 2007.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864"> It is quite rare to see what LACRALO has accomplish last few years and specially the last one, no matter the difficulties we all faced.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">I believe it is time to interpret the rules for this award in a different way –
<b>to award the whole community that have shown a significant accomplishment </b>
– this time <b>LACRALO </b>have done it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">It was not one, two or three persons, none of the leadership team or any other member individually that have done it – it was the entire LACRALO community and I am challenge
you to think about this interpretation of the rules for this award.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">Our community though this was not possible, so they suggested the president’s name, but this is not what they want. They want, as I do, to award the whole LACRALO!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">As a community based organization ICANN needs to think in strength the sense of community and I do not see better message than to give the
<b>excellence award for a whole community! <o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">LACRALO have accomplished so much because the entire community have decided it was time to rebuild a disrupted community, transforming it in an harmonious and productive
community for the last 3 years, and finally now we have it done and last ICANN meeting in Cancun we had the opportunity to show to all how we can work together. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">Think about and celebrate community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">I am copying my whole community since I know they all agree with me.
