Frankly I don't understand why there should be any objection to this.

An ALS may have voting privileges in only one RALO, but there is no
reason that they should not be allowed to participate in more than one
RALO's discussions as a non-voting participant. Doing this would not
seem to require any changes to MOUs or operating procedures unless
they're very restrictive.

If any existing member of LACRALO wanted to participate in a NARALO
discussion I wouldn't hesitate to welcome them.

(Allowing an ALS to arbitrarily select which region they preferred
should also be allowed, but would require many changes to the legal
documents...)
