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
Lance Hinds
