Sometimes when somebody said the truth sounds bad or somebody think that is against his/her possitión, but things are not always like we want. I fully support what Jaqueline said. We need work to present a good proposal for 2012-2013 budget and wait the approval of it. Or find some sponsor who cover the expenses, of course that is very diFficult almost like achieve the ICANN support. My two cents.

I don't personally see the need for General Assemblies funded by ICANN, and LACRALO is the only RALO asking for them regularly. However, if LACRALO wants one, it needs to have that put into the budget TOMORROW for 2012-2013. There was no budget item for a GA in the 2011-2012 budget. There WAS funding for 6 ALS reps plus the Officers of the RALO to go to Costa Rica in the 2011-2012 budget, and LACRALO gave up the funding to AFRALO for the Dakar meeting. I presumed when I saw that agreement on the list several months ago, that the idea of a GA in Costa Rica had been cancelled. I agree that it would be perfect for companies that make $$ off the Internet to support end-user participation, which is why I suggested months ago before we gave up the funding from ICANN that we did have, that we supplement ICANN's funding for our 6 + 5 representatives by getting sponsorship from such companies to bring the rest of the ALSes. That suggestion was not acted upon. I still believe that the showcase is a valuable undertaking, and it is budgeted for 2011-2012, so there is the small funding for that event remaining.

  Happy 2012 for everyone s.

  From surfer Argentina share what Sylvia as expressed by both   by JosOvidio.

  Organizations that represent who they roll the tremendous   machinery of the global industry of software, hardware, services   the Internet, Telcos, ICANN & Co. to our use and consumption of goods and   services have to be taken into account a bit more, so   we have to define as an issue of the Economic to the implemen Showcase   with the physical presence of the ALS of the upcoming meeting no less than   in Costa Rica (country that owes as much as a few of the Economic Development   the opportunities from allle gave Intel and other companies   we are talking about) is deliberately distract discusin.

  The development of a General Assembly in Large Structures   of the regions should be on the agenda if the Board of ICANN   is that they have due respect for the users / consumers / subjects   right to maintain the ICT industry

  And estms it clear that players who are the strengths of this ms   business (entindase we talked about companies in the ICT sector) have   to be held accountable in realizing this type of event   ATTENDANCE, which strengthen and much the rest of the meetings and   Online constantly maintain this and other Organizations   Regional Outreach.

  Those who use the issue as an excuse not to pursue budget for the   Assembly and defined in Dakar scheduled to be held this year in progress,   axis is only diverting the issue.

  On the other hand fully agree with the point made by Sylvia   function of face meetings, in a world of bits and bytes is an   direct contact irreplaceable people.
