*Dear Members of LACRALO*: I take some time to evaluate the proposal to run for President of LACRALO, a proposal supported by several people on the list; support that I appreciate sincerely. I decided to accept the challenge and take it with the greatest responsibility and commitment. My acceptance is part of an election process(in line of thought with Carlos Vera and Alejandro Pisanty), where candidates present their thoughts and express what think about the present and future of the region. Here the priority is about the Unit and growth of the RALO and I hope everyone sees this and all feel free to run for this position and vote freely, which is ultimately what needs LACRALO. Arce, Jose Francisco AGEIA DENSI ARGENTINA
