[[-- Translated text (es -> en) --]] Dear friends, part of organizational growth is being able to have diversity and quality in those who aspire to be representatives or managers of our community. This election has those two qualities, I think at this point historical of our region, we undoubtedly have the best exponents that we have in the region on an equal footing to be able to have the best regional internal management administration (presidents and secretaries) as also representatives to ALAC and Nomcom. I want to tell you that I feel proud of this evolution in LACRALO, of Surely this is the result of our new process directed after the dark moments that culminated in the mediation meeting for the year 2018. I want to congratulate each of the candidates for these elections, all of them. They are great regional companions, very good people and they are approached by a very great interest in our region and that should make us happy all. I think there is a great opportunity for all of us to work collectively under a genuine interest of working for the interests collectives. Know that I will be working hard accompanying these processes together with you. I greet you warmly, dear candidates! *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 from LAC<https://fuilac.org> **Facebook: salinasporto <http://www.facebook.com/salinasporto> **twitter: sergiosalinas <http://twitter.com/sergiosalinas> **Mobi:+54 9 223 5 215819**"I wish we can be disobedient, every time we receive orders that humiliate our * * conscience or violate our common sense" Eduardo Galeano*
