[[-- Translated text (es -> en) --]] Dear friends of the region, Something is happening in ALAC, a few hours ago the ALAC president asked to our ALAC Members to vote YES, NO or Abstain, on a small list of people who participated in the Kigali meeting in Rwanda. This short list excludes some of the expanded leadership of our region and others with the right to participate in this meeting and adds yes, a group of friends of power of the ALAC president. This attempt to break the Bottom Up principle, which prevails in ICANN since the beginning of time, ignoring elected leaders (alac members, presidents and secretaries of each of the regions) and putting friends in power, in my country it is called Coup d'état. I understand that the ALAC president is responsible, together with that group of frequent travelers for approximately 20 years, to be put into regional representativeness is at stake and a perverse imbalance is generated of power in the House of Internet Users of the World. An anecdotal fact is that the majority of these "frequent passengers" do not come from collective work within institutions, but from the world of individual, of the smallest, without representation of anything. I think that's where lies the little appreciation of thinking about institutions with democratic life, represented and with value. I have spoken with all of our ALAC Members about this topic and also what from other regions, so that this trial of Institutional Coup does not prosper, We will see how these things happen these days (voting deadline April 7), some of them may have been confused in the way they voted and It's understandable, these people know how to "sell you the unsellable", but I understand that after our talk everyone I spoke to has fully understood that the way is not to give power to a group of privilege, who wants to break with the best of traditions democratic participation. I hug you tightly, without struggle there are no rights! *Sergio Salinas Porto**Internaut President Argentina - LACRALO/ICANN <https://atlarge.icann.org/ralos/lacralo> **Argentine Association of Internet users<http://www.internauta.org.ar/> /FeTIA <http://www.fetia.org.ar/> **FUILAC- Federation of Internet Users Of the C<https://fuilac.org> **facebook: salinasporto <http://www.facebook.com/salinasporto> **twitter: sergiosalinas <http://twitter.com/sergiosalinas> **Mobi:+54 9 223 5 215819**"Hopefully We can be disobedient, every time we receive orders that humiliate our * * conscience or violate our common sense" Eduardo Galeano*
