One big-happy trade association, so much for “unaffiliated” ICANN participants 😊 A lot has changed since 1999.

Since the work is finished, no futher comment for now.

Para: Dr. Alejandro Pisanty Baruch CC: CPWG Asunto: Re: [lac-discuss-en] IFR2 Review is Officially Shuttered Alejandro, not sure what your angle is but I would not wish to overcomplicate for you. A statement of interest is about relevance, not inventory. I could list every connection and side affiliation I have, but that would only drain oxygen from the room without adding substance. For the record, I was nominated by ALAC as the At-Large rep to IFR2 RT. Concerning LACRALO, I am and remain a foundational leader since 2006, the convenor of the UWI ALS and now, alternate for the UWI ALS to voting rep Patrick Anglin. In regard the institution, I still take p/t teaching posts at The UWI. We are indeed proud of our UWI antecedents. Beyond that, yes, I have other ties I could parade, even to several ISOC chapters. But that would just be TMI. (A quick nod to our privacy dilemma.) Think of it in the same way you show up UNAM one day and ISOC the next.

It is good to know that the IANA function gets very good marks after the review. I do note that your statement of interest does not mention the University of the West Indies or any direct employment by an entity represented in LACRALO. Under "Current vocation, employer, and position" it states "Independent consultant, Self-employed, Digital Transformation Coach" Alejandro Pisanty ________________________________ De: Carlton Samuels via lac-discuss-en <lac-discuss-en@icann.org<mailto:lac-discuss-en@icann.org>> Enviado: lunes, 8 de septiembre de 2025 09:43 a. m.
