[[-- Translated text (es -> en) --]] Early virtual opening of the General Assembly in order to elect its authorities. Early virtual opening to elect GA authorities 2 hours ago, Silvia Vivanco Date 31 January 2023 Interpretive Opinion of the Rules of Procedure for the nomination and election of authorities and realization of AG LACRALO by Carlos Dionisio Aguirre. This interpretative proposal must be submitted to the consideration of all the representatives of ALSs in the region for at least 48 hours. So that if there are objections, they are expressly stated. In the event that there are no observations within the agreed term to object, and in order to give this document the necessary firmness, the proposal must be considered as accepted in its entirety without the possibility of appealing it in the future. Taking into account the times and the imminent realization of Our AG of LACRALO, and trying to eliminate doubts, contradictions and ambiguities that in my special opinion arise or that could arise from the different understanding of the regulations contained in the Rules of Procedure and the conflicts that with this can be generated. And especially taking into account Title VIII and art. 25 of the Rules of Procedure and the absence of an Internal Regulation in case of conflicts in the Interpretation of rules. It is that the regulations have been revised again in order to clarify and simplify their understanding for those non-educated members. And it is proposed, fundamentally based on the criterion of good faith and the positive interpretation of the rules that allow the realization of the GA, with the previous nomination of candidates and proclamation of those who are elected to conduct it, the following scheme: Process: The Assembly will open (on the set date and for the established period) by means of communication via email from the President and/or Secretary of the Region to all representatives of ALSs, calling for "Nomination of candidates for the positions of President and/or Secretary /a of the AG.” (This for the purpose of complying with article 11.3 second paragraph) The GA thus opened will be understood as a single act until once the electronic voting or the election is carried out in the next monthly meeting of LACRALO, the elected are proclaimed and they assume the leadership. After the election of authorities it will go to and pass to fourth intermission until the activity resumes within the framework of ICANN 76 Cancun. Referring to the The convocation of point 1- It will be understood that it is carried out in the first and second convocation, in the same act, for the purposes of the Quorum established by art. 11.6 and in order to effectively carry out the AG and taking into account that the same art. It does not specify if its stipulations refer to In-person, Virtual/Remote or Hybrid Assemblies. Therefore, the AG will be considered as having a Quorum to meet and function regardless of the number of participating ALSs. The metrics will not be applied and the concept of "Active ALS/s" will not be taken into account for this special event, this concept must be understood, written simply as "ALS/s", in order to facilitate the participation of all ALSs and the effective realization of the GA. Continuing with the GA, which remains open, and once the term for the nomination of candidates has expired, the electronic voting process will be prepared and the voting credentials will be sent by email to be able to exercise the right to vote (on the date and established term), clarifying and notifying in this same act that if a quorum is not reached (item 6) in the virtual vote, a new election will be held on February 20, 2023 on the occasion of the monthly LACRALO meeting with the representatives of ALSs attending. to the same. In the case of only 1 candidate for each position to be filled, the voting options will only be for the affirmative or the abstention. The Quorum for virtual voting is established in article 15 of the Rules of Procedure and with the sole consideration of what is established in point 4 of this document. After the voting has been carried out and closed, the winner will be the result of considering the provisions of articles 16 and 17 of the Operating Rules. If the necessary quorum is not obtained (art.15) after the calculations of the virtual election carried out and established in the same art. 15, a new vote will be carried out during the LACRALO monthly meeting on February 20, 2023, with the representatives of the ALSs present at said meeting. The candidates who are elected will immediately be proclaimed and will assume their functions. (Article 11.7 establishes the responsibilities of the President.) and at that moment they will proceed to open an intermediate room that will persist until the activities are reopened on the date scheduled for the session. AG during the ICANN76 meeting. If for any reason or cause the virtual election could not be held, or had not reached the required Quorums: Once met in Cancun on March 13, 2023 in a hybrid meeting and with the representatives of the ALSs present in person and remotely, the candidates originally nominated will be voted on and the candidate who reaches the simple majority of weighted votes will be elected (this considering that the Rules of Procedure do not stipulate anything for not having contemplated it and in relation to Assemblies through a hybrid system of participation). All of the above having taken into account the LACRALO Rules of Procedure in force to date, especially art. 9; 10; eleven; 11.3; 12; 13; 15 and 16. CALENDAR The proposed dates for this are: Opening of the GA and opening of the nomination of candidates: Feb 06, 2023 Candidate nomination deadline: Feb 10, 2023 Elections: from 14 to 17 Feb 2023 Communication of results, assumption of authorities and move to fourth intermission: Feb 20, 2023. **************************************** Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
