Dear José, thank you very much for your kind note and great news about the ALS application from the ISOC Costa Rica Chapter (ISOC-CR). This is just in time for our ALAC call today, and I will therefore be announcing this on the call, and will ask staff to start a 5 day vote afterwards. Warmest regards, Olivier On 22/11/2011 03:05, José Francisco Arce wrote :
Dear All,
LACRALO has reviewed the ALS Application from the ISOC Costa Rica Chapter (ISOC-CR) and recommends that the ALS application be accepted.
Both the LACRALO chair and secretariat note the following:
* The LACRALO President met the ISOC-CR President, Carlos Carazo at the regional IGF event in Trinidad and Tobago in August 2011.
* We have reviewed the information provided on the form and ISOC-CR's website and have found it sufficient, and futher note that it is hosting an ISOC event, in collaboration with ICANN in November 2011.
* The LACRALO President has clarified the answer provided to Question 3 in the ISOC-CR's ALS application form. Question 3 states "Provide support for the statement that your Organization is self-supporting (by answering "yes" you confirm that it will not rely on ICANN for funding)". While the response in the form was "NO", the LACRALO President has confirmed with ISOC-CR's President that the question was misunderstood and that ISOC-CR is a self-supporting organisation and does not rely on ICANN for funding.
Kind Regards,
Jose Francisco Arce LACRALO President
Dev Anand Teelucksingh LACRALO Secretariat
For all the above LACRALO advice is to approve the ISOC Costa Rica
application. _______________________________________________ ALAC mailing list ALAC@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac
