Very soon I think I will be taking the same position that James Corbin (a founder member) took. Refuse to participate, even in voting.

There are no 'subgroups' and/or 'subregions' We are supposed to be an organisation with Latin American and Caribbean constituents and a mandate to protect their participation, whether it is current or emerging, in the internet space. It is hoped that we can quickly get to a place where the majority of our work centers around that common objective. Please remember that we were the first RALO and regrettably our behaviour on occasion has not been stellar. The unfortunate results of our GA in Costa Rica must serve as guidance and instruction so as to ensure that it does not happen again. In terms of my nomination for the LACRALO Secretariat, for general information I have close to twenty years experience working with and directing national and regional organisations whose primary mandate is the continuous penetration of ICT and internet access to improve the socioeconomic conditions of our people, and further strive to make them effective digital citizens. I am also a consultant and business founder; I therefore understand the crucial need for processes to be efficient and outputs to be responsive and relevant. LACRALO represents the region where the participation in internet activities is probably the least. We have an obligation to become the organisation where policies emanate and are driven to address this fundamental issue. Only my two cents
