We will resume the call with the respective corrections promptly.

Regards

1.- To Antonio Medina’s questions;


Is this process for the "selection" o "election”  of LACRALO representative with the ALAC?
Election : It starts as if nothing  would have existed before.

Is Lance Hinds a delegate of an accredited ALS?
yes, his ALS is DEVnet from Guyana.


For this new process, is Lance Hinds prevented from attending?
No, he is not prevented.

In affirmative case, is there any statement in this regard?
In negative case, can he be nominated?
He can be nominated


Are there any other ALSes prevented or ALSes representatives prevented which cannot be nominated?

Only ALSes from Brazil and México cannot be nominated, as pointed out in the call for nominations.


Is there something else we should know with anticipation so situations as those occurred are not repeated?
The call for nominations will explain it.

2.- To Alejandro Pisanty’s request

Alejandro pointed out  that  the previous call for nominations left a contentious point, which created a controversy in the recent suspended voting process: “the determination of eligibility of candidates, in particular in this case, the determination in case of possible impairments due to unsolvable conflicts of interests”

               We have analyzed the possibility to include this requirement, but  we cannot find any explicit reference in the Operating Principles or RoPs. Also, each candidate  shall complete  his Statement of Interest (SOI) , where it can be seen, if there is any  conflict of interest. In short, it will be left to each voter’s judgement if any candidate has a conflict of interest or not.

               We think that  in the future we should include an explicit rule regulating this issue in our organizing  documents.

3.- To Fátima Cambronero’s request

 Fátima pointed out two errors in the communication we sent. The first one, to exclude the Argentinean nationality for a future candidacy  and that  the  calculation of the timeframes was calendar days  not working days.

Regarding  the first  point, we have debated this and understand that  although the norm is not absolutely clear, we shall proceed to adopt the interpretation provided by  Fatima and therefore a candidate  from Argentina can be a candidate.

With regards to timeframes, they  will be adjusted to calendar days  and the call for nominations will be re drafted in this sense.
