Dear All: I make these declarations: The roles and responsibilities of the Chair, LACRALO are defined in LACRALO's organising instruments. The roles and responsibilities of the Secretariat, LACRALO are defined in LACRALO's organising instruments. By accepting nomination, the member from "Instituto Iberoamericano de Investigacion para la Sociedad de la Informacion" accepted the role of Chair and adopted the responsibilities assigned the Chair, LACRALO. By accepting nomination, the member from “Asociación de Derecho e Informática de Chile” accepted the role of Secretariat and the responsibilities assigned the Secretariat, LACRALO. Here is a comparison of two timelines for LACRALO elections. Do your best and spot the differences. ----------------------------------------------------------------- *COMPARING TWO TIMELINES OF PAST ELECTIONS* December 8, 2014 Timeline for LACRALO Chair and Secretariat Election 2015 – 2016 posted http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/lac-discuss-en/2014-December/011827... * Nominations and self-nominations: 09 DEC 2014 - 09 JAN 2015 * Nomination acceptance: Ends 16 JAN 2015 * Teleconference for the candidates and Q&A: 20 JAN 2015 * Online vote: 26 JAN 2015 - 01 FEB 2015 December 26, 2014 Humberto Carrasco nominated by Alberto Soto http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/lac-discuss-en/2014-December/011901...
