Dear,

Through this email, we respond your questions and comments to the call 
for the selection of the 2015-2017 ALAC Member from LACRALO replacing 
Fatima Cambronero.

In this email, we answer the questions and comments made after the call 
for elections dated August 6, 2015

We will resume the call with the respective corrections promptly.

Regards

Alberto y Humberto

*1.- To Antonio Medinaâs questions;*


Is this process for the "selection" o "electionâ  of LACRALO 
representative with the ALAC?
Election : It starts as if nothing would have existed before.

Is Lance Hinds a delegate of an accredited ALS?
yes, his ALS is DEVnet from Guyana.

For this new process, is Lance Hinds prevented from attending?
No, he is not prevented.

In affirmative case, is there any statement in this regard?
In negative case, can he be nominated?
He can be nominated


Are there any other ALSes prevented or ALSes representatives prevented 
which cannot be nominated?

Only ALSes from Brazil and MÃxico cannot be nominated, as pointed out in 
the call for nominations.


Is there something else we should know with anticipation so situations 
as those occurred are not repeated?
The call for nominations will explain it.

*2.- To Alejandro Pisantyâs request *

Alejandro pointed out  that  the previous call for nominations left a 
contentious point, which created a controversy in the recent suspended 
voting process: âthe determination of eligibility of candidates, in 
particular in this case, the determination in case of possible 
impairments due to unsolvable conflicts of interestsâ

We have analyzed the possibility to include this requirement, but  we 
cannot find any explicit reference in the Operating Principles or RoPs. 
Also, each candidate  shall complete  his Statement of Interest (SOI) , 
where it can be seen, if there is any  conflict of interest. In short, 
it will be left to each voterâs judgement if any candidate has a 
conflict of interest or not.

We think that  in the future we should include an explicit rule 
regulating this issue in our organizing  documents.

*3.- To FÃtima Cambroneroâs request*

**FÃtima pointed out two errors in the communication we sent. The first 
one, to exclude the Argentinean nationality for a future candidacy  and 
that  the  calculation of the timeframes was calendar days  not working 
days.

Regarding  the first  point, we have debated this and understand that  
although the norm is not absolutely clear, we shall proceed to adopt the 
interpretation provided by  Fatima and therefore a candidate from 
Argentina can be a candidate.

With regards to timeframes, they  will be adjusted to calendar days  and 
the call for nominations will be re drafted in this sense.
