Dear Vanda: Its not just that a mistake was made. What is more troubling is this bald attempt to outlaw thousands of years of mathematical genius, beginning with the Arabs. The 100% vote is spread across all countries with ALS. There are 20 countries with ALS. Each country is allotted 5% of the vote, that is 100% divided by 20. The rule mimics the 'one country, one vote' of the UNGA. And it makes every country, from Brazil to Jamaica, of equal stature in the LACRALO GA on a vote. Every ALS in every country has the same portion of the vote allotted to their country of domicile. This makes every ALS a protected class in every country; they can vote their share of their country's vote independent of all others in their own country. Let's take the case of Brazil. Each of its 4 ALS is allotted and exercise 1.25% of the 5% vote allotted to Brazil. You would have to persuade 3 other ALS leaders to vote YOUR conscience to commit all of that 5% to any one candidate. That is, convince Aislan Vargas, Aylne Andrade and Silvia Herlein Leite to vote as you would vote. See it here: http://bit.ly/lacralo-dashboard I suspect any Brazilian ALS would be just as zealous of their share of the Brazil country vote as the UWI is of our share of the Jamaica country vote. Here's another thing, its significance tend to miss some of our members. Each ALS is given its own credentials which is used to track the vote and its origination to an IP address. We don't have a roll call online. And proxy voting is not allowed for online votes. That is because by virtue of issuing credentials without a bounce, ALL ALS are deemed present for an online vote. The total vote for any candidate in any election is the SUM - meaning adding fraction+fraction+fraction - of each fraction of the country vote allotted each ALS that voted for that candidate. The fraction is already expressed in percentage. So the majority - 50% +1% - is the threshold for winning. This is really not rocket science and nothing any of us should have to explain. Or worse, be asked to defend the math! Unless, of course there are other motives at play. I explained the math to my 3 year old grand daughter and she gets it. And, she was annoyed at the time on account my wi-fi was not working properly. This simple fact has frustrated attempts to capture the LACRALO vote before now. We have even seen a barefaced proposal to remove the weighted vote in LACRALO voting mechanisms. We shall never allow that to go unchallenged. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 11:05 AM, Vanda Scartezini <vanda@uol.com.br> wrote:

Thanks for the reminder Silvia, I've posted this comment on the wiki page.
"The proposals by Humberto and Alberto in adding multiple motions for votes is calculated to frustrate the intent of the motion of no confidence and underscores the lack of accountability in the LACRALO leadership and the lack of redress in ICANN At-Large when the LACRALO leadership acts in a corrupt manner.
There has been mention of extra-ordinary or special motions in LACRALO and this is false.
There are only two types of motions in LACRALO : procedural and non-procedural.
The motion of no confidence as raised by Carlton and seconded by others is a procedural one.
It was filed before the 2nd election (of an LACRALO ALAC representative for 2015-2017) called by the LACRALO chair and secretariat and should have been heard immediately rather than the LACRALO chair and secretariat ignoring the motion to proceed with the 2nd election.
As it was a procedural motion, a simple majority of the weighted vote (greater than 50%) of the ALSes present and voting is needed for the motion to pass, as per Rule 12.2.
As such, the motion of no confidence in the LACRALO leadership as filed by Carlton ( http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/lac-discuss-en/2015-September/01343... ) is the only motion that needs to be heard and voted on. "
Kind Regards,
Dev Anand Teelucksingh
