Subject: [lac-discuss-en] Nomination of the LACRALO representative to the ALAC

Dear All,

Let me first sincerely thank Jose Arce for nominating me and my friend Antonio 
Media Gomez for supporting this nomination. After some deep reflection and soul 
searching however I wish to advise Staff and the membership that I will not 
seek election as LACRALO's representative to the ALAC.

I believe firmly that if a process for nomination and election has been 
established it should be followed. The fact it can be upturned because persons 
did not participate in a timely manner is something I continue to find deeply 
distressing. I am also not prepared to be accused further of a conflict of 
interest because I engage in a business activity for my livelihood that has 
nothing to do with my long term interest and commitment to this RALO.

I have seen the requirements for being an ALAC representative and know I meet 
and indeed exceed those requirements. I have demonstrated that I have 
collaborated to my at-large colleagues regardless of location or language. I 
still feel, however, that the rollout of this process, was in the end, a 
subversion of the very democratic process we have committed to uphold in 
LACRALO and ICANN as a whole.

I am now convinced that the Caribbean Constituency face and will continue, an 
extraordinary challenge in being selected for regional service. Someone else 
may be willing to fight this fight. I however cannot summon the energy to 
contest in an election that I have already won. I wish all the candidates in 
this election the very best as they seek to represent âLA RALOâ.


My very best regards
