Apologies - resending again from my devtee@gmail.com address since the mail list translation doesn't work for the admin@ttcsweb.org address - Dev Anand Teelucksingh Dear All, At the 21 July 2011 LACRALO conference, it was agreed by those attending that call, unless there was a request by any ALS to call for a vote that we should attempt to have a interim LACRALO president acclaimed by consensus, if there was only one nomination. Unfortunately, there were only 6 ALSes present on that call, (https://community.icann.org/x/gIEUAQ) which means the conference call was not quorate. Therefore, since there are only 4 ALSes that have expressed support for the nomination of Jose Arce as LACRALO president (https://community.icann.org/x/zIMKAQ), a simple majority (>18 ALSs) is needed to express support for the nomination of Jose Arce as Interim President to be confirmed. A Bigpulse poll has been created and ALS representatives will be emailed instructions on how they can express their support. The only question on the poll is: "Do you support the nomination of Jose Arce as interim LACRALO President until April 2012?" with the possible choices of "Yes" or "No". The poll will close on Friday 29 July 2011 at 23:59 UTC. Once more than 18 ALSes have confirmed their support for the nomination of Jose Arce as interim LACRALO president, then Jose Arce will be the interim LACRALO president until April 2012 by acclamation. Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh LACRALO Secretariat
