In this regard I must say it is important that we make a document as a region, in this I agree with Natalia. I made some comments on the site Natalia shared, copied it here if that will help us to discuss about it, also can be found on the site that ICANN had before it: The theme discuss consolidated Strategy Meeting in ICANN meetings and participatory processes that take place permanently. I agreement on permanent rotation of places to perform General Assembly. Believe it important that only conduct one of the annual meetings in North America to give more space the rest of lu I suggest the following -Making the first meeting in two cities in Asia-Pacific -Making the second meeting of the year in a city in North America and the other in European -Making the third meeting on a rotating basis in cities of Africa (2014), and Latin America (2015) I feel that regional rotation is important and necessary to achieve the regional diversity that is intended from ICANN and can ensure representatitividad of different actors involved.

We are back in Toronto, when I can and I reorganize the office I send my report of the meetings. Meanwhile, I want to draw attention to the proposed modification of the Proposal on the consolidation strategy ICANN Meetings (* strategy meetings for public locations). * Public comments can be found on this page http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/meetings-proposal-2012-02oct12-e... * (English) * http://www.icann.org/es/news/public-comment/meetings-proposal-2012-02oct12-e... * (Spanish) * The dates are: * Opening of Comment: * October 2, 2012 * Closing Comment: * 16 November 2012 * Closing Time (UTC): * Commentary Announcement 23:59 Public <http://www.icann.org/es/news/announcements/announcement-02oct12-es.htm> * Open Response: * November 17, 2012 Present your Entries (Forum) <meetings-proposal-2012@icann.org> * Closing the Answer: * December 7, 2012 View Comments submitted <http://forum.icann.org/lists/meetings-proposal-2012/> * Closing Time (UTC): * 23:59 Report brief review public comments * Summary * * PURPOSE: * It is essential that the headquarters of the meeting have excellent facilities that encourage interaction. The purpose is ensure the use of sites that offer the best facilities for conferences. * BACKGROUND: * Since 1999, ICANN identifies and selects sites meetings through a process of proposals by hosts. In 2007, the ICANN implemented a new policy, whereby most of the planning and implementation was under his charge, but keeping the support of local host on government involvement, the Internet bandwidth, the event gala, security and other aspects of the meeting. * DIFFICULTY: * A half that ICANN meetings were taking greater alance and call, were markedly reduced the number of facilities capable of carrying out an ICANN meeting. Furthermore, the number of facilities that effectively meet all criteria selection of venues for meetings is extremely limited. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find new hosts and cities appropriate facilities for the meeting venues. * PROPOSAL: * ICANN identify the best facilities worldwide to take after the ICANN Meeting. Generally, these facilities convention centers are often complemented by hotels nearby. Proposed consolidation of meetings for 2014, 2015 and 2016: • Make the first meeting * year * in two cities in the region * Asia-Pacific. * • Perform * meeting * second year in two cities in Europe *. * * Perform * third meeting of the year on a rotating basis in the following regions: North America (2014), Africa (2015) and * Latin America / Caribbean (2016). * This proposal * can * have an impact on regional diversity. The issues to consider are: • * The equitable regional rotation, is it important or not? • Is it enough to rotate in a "not equal"? • What can be done to mitigate any negative impacts? * As you can see, a * LAC will only touch a meeting every three years *! As affects the participation and access of stakeholders in ICANN, not be moved (either by themselves or by their caseworkers) to regions more distant from our own, either because of cost, access, distance, etc. It is important that we express our opinion as a region, as we directly affected by this proposal.
