Sylvia ___________________________________________________ Sylvia Herlein <mailto:sylvia@internautabrasil.org> sylvia@internautabrasil.org Secretary LACRALO-ICANN / 2012-2013 - <http://atlarge.icann.org> http://atlarge.icann.org 2009-2012 Secretary FLUI sylvia_leite = Skype Descrio: Assinatura_Sylvia_Internautabrasil -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------------- Dear Secretariat: I am Compelled to bring attention to your actions and / or Activities LACRALO inconsistent with Rules of Procedure, as ADOPTED. Refer LACRALO RoP, Clause 11 and Clause 20 inclusive. Hereunder, the exact wording for Clause 11: "* Should a vote in a virtual meeting not be quorate, then the chair Marshall extend the close of the ** vote for an equal amount of time as the original voting period.By the end of this extension, No quorum will be ** required. * "Note the word * chair * inline the rule. We must be assured That all actions are in keeping With The Authorities vested in each officer, Especially In light of recent Concerns raised acerca Exceeding the Chair authority. It is unclear to what Extent the Chair of LACRALO Involved With This decision was. Can you confirm That the Chair, Exercised LACRALO his authority under the LACRALO RoP, Declared his intention to you and Requested That You Communicate the decision to the rest of us? A quorum for a virtual vote ALS presume all are present, even if not voting. The time period for the original Allocated quorum was * 22-Aug-2012 23:59 UTC to 25-Aug-2012 23:59 UTC. * That is to say three (3) days, inclusive. Concerns There Could be other as well. For example, I am studiously Avoiding the English translation of the text from the Which Secretariat says: * "** Have not yet Reached the minimum votes required and That is Why We Have extended the deadline for voting Until * February Sunday 26 at 23:59 UTC. * "* Assuming it was the Chair's decision communicated That You, the record will That show your mail extended the quorum call * before * the expiration of the Original call. That is an egregious violation of the rules. The action is more in line With The crystal ball gazing you see at a fairground, it pretends to construct and know the future before it has arrived. Secondly, the extension was for only one (1) additional day. This is Also a plain violation since the rules would require an extension for three (3) days. Do be so advised. - Carlton Samuels The University of the West Indies ALS ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 * Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround * ============================= _______________________________________________ [[--Original text (es) http://mm.icann.org/transbot_archive/fa42414ade.html --]]
