[NA-Discuss] Language

Hi Nick

I thought that Jocob took comments from the Caribbean to collate – I know
there was a discussion on it. I can collate if that didn’t happen…

The region consultation is still going on - every month I'm asked by someone
within ICANN to get -SOME- response on that consultation from the At-Large
community. 

At the moment, PR is in North America because of the regional configuration
of the ICANN Geographic Regions. If PR wants to move to LAC, again, now
would be the time to put that suggestion forward....

Actually, they did ask if they could be LACRALO members - LACRALO determined

it had no issue accepting them if they wanted to be - but that was last year

before there was movement on forming the NARALO.

But with regard to languages - if the agreement was for the official

languages of the members of the regions, then, as PR is a member of the

region, Spanish should be included. No matter how many or how few people

speak it.

ICANN did have a consultation going on the regional classification a while

ago -I can check back to see what came of it - I don't recall seeing a

report or anything yet.

Well - from what I remember - feel free to correct - Puerto Rico is

officially bilingual, isn't it? And it is part of NARALO. I leave it up to

the Puerto Rican NARALO member to decide whether to take this forward or

not. I believe that after the meeting in SJ, there will be more ALS

applicants from PR, so maybe then they can call for Spanish if they want to.

Well, then you open the issue of why there should be a RALO with only

three participating jurisdictions.

Funny, elswehere in the world the RALO boundaries are drawn on

continental boundaries. Newcomers can only wonder about the politics

behind the decision to keep the Caribbean and Mexico out of North

America on ICANN's globe.

Of course, one other option is to ask the Puerto Rican ALSs if they'd

prefer to be part of the LAC-RALO
