Dear
Jacqueline,
By
this email we respond to your request.
Overall,
we
estimate that we cannot suspend the election for the following
reasons:
1.
The voting process began on Thursday, September 3, 2015, and runs until
Thursday, September 10, 2015
until 23:00
hours.
2.
The motion of Mr. Samuels was presented on Friday, September 4,
2015.
In
his
email, Mr. Samuels raised a Point of Order and offered
a motion of NO CONFIDENCE
in the LACRALO
leadership.
He
pointed out some
arguments to justify his
action and then he ended
with:
"Resolved:
That the general
assembly demonstrate its lack of
confidence in the LACRALO leadership and vote on this motion."
Thus, this paragraph says nothing about any suspension.
3.
On 5 September, we informed to Mr Samuels that we requested an
official translation
to Spanish of his motion to be sent to the LACRALO's Spanish
list.
4.
Subsequently, the 7th of September 2015 Alberto Soto
informed that
he had asked for legal advice from ICANN’s legal staff regarding
this motion of
censure.
5.
The RoP in Articles 8.1 and 8.2 states the following:
8.1 During a
discussion, any delegate may raise a point of
order; such a point of order shall be immediately decided upon
by the presiding
officer.
8.2 An appeal may be
made against the ruling of the
presiding officer. Such an appeal shall be put to the vote
immediately and the
presiding officer's ruling shall stand,
unless overruled by a simple majority of the ALS present and
voting.
These
rules
are silent regarding any suspension. Neither there has been any
appeal.
In any case, an appeal did not suspend the current vote.
6.
There are articles relating to the suspension in
Rule 9 that provides:
Rule 9 - Procedural
Motions
9.1 During a
discussion, any delegate may
move the suspension or adjournment of the meeting or the
adjournment or closure
of the debate.
9.2 Such a motion
shall be put to the vote
immediately. Subject to Rule 8.1, such motions shall have
precedence in the
following order over all other proposals or motions before the
meeting:
(a) Suspension of
the meeting;
(b) Adjournment of
the meeting;
(c) Adjournment of
the debate on the question under
discussion;
(d) Closure of the debate
on the question under
discussion.
7.
-
Finally, with regard to the arguments and accusations of Mr.
Samuels, they will
be answered once the official translation into Spanish is sent
to the LACRALO's
Spanish list.
Regards.
Hi HumbertoI'm confused - there was a motion on the table from Carlton - the motion of No Confidence. According to the RoP, this motion needs to be debated and voted BEFORE the vote on ALAC rep can continue (it takes precedence). This hasn't been done, so how can the vote on ALAC rep be ending tomorrow?Or was there a vote on the motion and I missed it?
I am particularly concerned given the number of procedural mistakes that seem to have occurred recently. We don't want more issues with this vote.
