Re: [lac-discuss-en] [lac-discuss-es] VOTE ANNOUNCEMENT (ES): Votar en 2019 LACRALO Elecciones y Principios Operativos

Dear Vanda,  
 
I posted about this in the governance group in early April some time ago, 
I'll quote the relevant sections 
 
Our operating principles specified the rotation principle agreed upon by all 
following the deliberations at Puerto Rico and subsequent meeting of the 
governance wg and then approved by all in LACRALO.  
 
7.2.a â?? The region is divided into four (4) subregions comprising the 
following countries: A) Central America and Mexico: Belize, Costa Rica, El 
Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico and Panama. B) Andes: Bolivia, 
Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. C) Caribbean: Antigua and 
Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, 
Dominican Republic, Saint Vincent and The Grenadines, St. Lucia, Saint Kitts 
& Nevis, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago D) Mercosur: Argentina, Brazil, 
Paraguay and Uruguay.
 
We start the rotation using the definitions of the sub-regions in the OP and 
numbered sequentially. The rotation starts at the next sub region from the 
domicile of the incumbent Chair, Secretariat and ALAC.  This means for this 
year: - Chair nominations will be sought from region A (since the chair is from 
Region D) for a period of two years. - Chair elect nominations will be sought 
from region B excluding Chile (because of ALAC member) for a period of two 
years. - Secretary nominations will be sought from Region C (since Secretary Is 
from region B) excluding Trinidad and Tobago (because of Nomcom member) for a 
period of two years.  - Secretary-elect nominations will be sought from Region 
D for a period of two years.  - ALAC nominations will be from region D (as ALAC 
Member is from C) for a period of two years.
