Re: [lac-discuss-en] VOTE NOTICE: 2015 VOTE FOR REPRESENTATIVE LACRALO ALAC / 2015 VOTE FOR REPRESENTATIVE TO THE LACRALO ALAC

Dear Jacqueline,

By this email we respond to your request.

Overall, we estimate that we cannot suspend the election for the following reasons:

1. The voting process began on Thursday, September 3, 2015, and runs until Thursday, September 10, 2015 until 23:00 hours.

2. The motion of Mr. Samuels was presented on Friday, September 4, 2015.

In his email, Mr. Samuels raised a Point of Order and offered a motion of NO CONFIDENCE in the LACRALO leadership.

He pointed out some arguments to justify his action and then he ended with:

"Resolved:

That the general assembly demonstrate its lack of confidence in the LACRALO leadership and vote on this motion."

Thus, this paragraph says nothing about any suspension.


3. On 5 September, we informed to Mr Samuels that we requested an official translation to Spanish of his motion to be sent to the LACRALO's Spanish list.

4. Subsequently, the 7^th of September 2015 Alberto Soto informed that he had asked for legal advice from ICANN’s legal staff regarding this motion of censure.

5. The RoP in Articles 8.1 and 8.2 states the following:

8.1 During a discussion, any delegate may raise a point of order; such a point of order shall be immediately decided upon by the presiding officer.

8.2 An appeal may be made against the ruling of the presiding officer. Such an appeal shall be put to the vote immediately and the presiding officer's ruling shall stand, unless overruled by a simple majority of the ALS present and voting.

These rules are silent regarding any suspension. Neither there has been any appeal. In any case, an appeal did not suspend the current vote.

6. There are articles relating to the suspension in Rule 9 that provides:

Rule 9 - Procedural Motions

9.1 During a discussion, any delegate may move the suspension or adjournment of the meeting or the adjournment or closure of the debate.

9.2 Such a motion shall be put to the vote immediately. Subject to Rule 8.1, such motions shall have precedence in the following order over all other proposals or motions before the meeting:

(a)  Suspension of the meeting;

(b)  Adjournment of the meeting;

(c)  Adjournment of the debate on the question under discussion;

(d)  Closure of the debate on the question under discussion.

7. - Finally, with regard to the arguments and accusations of Mr. Samuels, they will be answered once the official translation into Spanish is sent to the LACRALO's Spanish list.


Regards.

Alberto Soto

Hi Humberto
I'm confused - there was a motion on the table from Carlton - the motion of No Confidence. According to the RoP, this motion needs to be debated and voted BEFORE the vote on ALAC rep can continue (it takes precedence). This hasn't been done, so how can the vote on ALAC rep be ending tomorrow?
Or was there a vote on the motion and I missed it?

I am particularly concerned given the number of procedural mistakes that seem to have occurred recently. We don't want more issues with this vote.
