ENGLISH My dear Sergio Thank you for your letters of inquiry and your concern My apologies for my late response to the concerns you raised. I wanted to have a full discussion with a subset of the board before I responded to you. Since many of the working groups have been defunct for quite some time, I thought it prudent to work with this more manageable subset of the Board which includes the current secretary, LACRALO representatives to the ALAC and the elected incoming 2027 chair and secretary. It is important to recognize that this subset of the board are persons duly elected by the LACRALO membership and one member selected by the NomCom while the working group chairs are not. So far, we have been working on the LACRALO, 2026-27 work plan and importantly, started to institute a series of measures to improve our RALO’s overall performance. As part of this effort, we started to review the current practices of the board and identify the area for improvement. As part of this exercise, we reviewed the functions of the existing working groups. These groups are as follows: ● *Policy First / Grupo de Trabajo sobre Políticas de LACRALO:* Develops policy positions on ICANN matters. ● *LACRALO Governance WG/Grupo de Gobernanza:* Manages internal structures and bylaws. ● *Contractual Issues Working Group (WG) / Cuestiones Contractuales de LACRALO:* Focuses on registry/registrar agreements. ● *LACRALO DNS Working Group:* Handles DNS abuse and related technical matters. ● *LACRALO Communications WG:* Manages regional outreach and communication. ● *LACRALO Universal Acceptance/IDNS WG:* Promotes digital inclusion by supporting Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) and Universal Acceptance (UA) in the region. Some of these groups have not been active for years, while others have not *convened* since their inception. The working groups have no terms of reference, no work plan, no deliverables. It is the view of the subset of the board that the current arrangements could be significantly improved, and I’m sure you would also agree that the very democratic ideals that you espouse are simply not being followed. There is also the issue of cost. ICANN staff has reminded LACRALO repeatedly that there are two many working groups and efforts must be made to eliminate some or amalgamate them to reduce the expense of meetings and interpreters. As Chair of LACRALO, I am proposing that a temporary pause to the participation of the working group chairs as members of the board until we can deliberate and decide on how the working groups can function effectively in the coming years. Recognizing that it has been close to 20 years since LACRALO was created, the subset of the board believes that it is time that we review all our work processes and determine whether they are effective. After some deliberation the subset of the board have been considering the following[1] <#_msocom_1> : ● That working groups should be created as needed and will have specific objectives, timelines and deliverables ● If members of the LACRALO believe a working group is needed for a specificproject, the members should submit a proposal to the board for consideration. ● That Board should encourage and foster the creation of working groups to support the board’s activities as they work on the annual strategic plan. ● Whether there should be permanent working groups, and ● Whether the chairs of the WG should be members of the LACRALO board. All of these ideas under consideration are aimed at improving structure, transparency, accountability and participation. We understand that this proposal needs to be discussed further, and in more detail, specifically as it related to the creation, sustainability of the working groups moving forward. At the completion of our deliberations, we will present our ideas to the membership for review and consideration. As I said earlier, we have been in existence for twenty years. We are the crossroads of terms of relevance and effectiveness. We should make the effort to further develop a RALO that is adaptable, sustainable and effectively representing our constituency for the next 20 years. I would be happy to discuss this with you and your other colleagues in further detail. Best Regards Lance ------------------------------ *ESPAÑOL* Mi querido Sergio Gracias por tus cartas de consulta y tu preocupación. Mis disculpas por mi tardía respuesta a las inquietudes que planteaste. Quería tener una discusión completa con un subconjunto de la junta directiva antes de responderte. Dado que muchos de los grupos de trabajo han estado inactivos durante bastante tiempo, consideré prudente trabajar con este subconjunto más manejable de la Junta, que incluye al actual secretario, los representantes de LACRALO ante el ALAC, y el presidente y secretario electos entrantes para 2027. Es importante reconocer que este subconjunto de la junta está conformado por personas debidamente elegidas por los miembros de LACRALO y un miembro seleccionado por el NomCom, mientras que los presidentes de los grupos de trabajo no lo son. Hasta ahora, hemos estado trabajando en el plan de trabajo de LACRALO para 2026-27 y, de manera importante, hemos comenzado a implementar una serie de medidas para mejorar el desempeño general de nuestro RALO. Como parte de este esfuerzo, iniciamos la revisión de las prácticas actuales de la junta e identificamos las áreas de mejora. Como parte de este ejercicio, revisamos las funciones de los grupos de trabajo existentes. Dichos grupos son los siguientes: • *Policy First / Grupo de Trabajo sobre Políticas de LACRALO:* Elabora posiciones de política en asuntos de ICANN. • *LACRALO Governance WG / Grupo de Gobernanza:* Gestiona las estructuras internas y los estatutos. • *Grupo de Trabajo sobre Cuestiones Contractuales (WG) / Cuestiones Contractuales de LACRALO:* Se enfoca en los acuerdos con registros y registradores. • *Grupo de Trabajo DNS de LACRALO:* Maneja el abuso del DNS y asuntos técnicos relacionados. • *Grupo de Trabajo de Comunicaciones de LACRALO:* Gestiona la divulgación y comunicación regional. • *Grupo de Trabajo de Aceptación Universal / IDNs de LACRALO:* Promueve la inclusión digital apoyando los Nombres de Dominio Internacionalizados (IDNs) y la Aceptación Universal (UA) en la región. Algunos de estos grupos no han estado activos durante años, mientras que otros no se han reunido desde su creación. Los grupos de trabajo no tienen términos de referencia, ni plan de trabajo, ni entregables. El subconjunto de la junta considera que los arreglos actuales podrían mejorarse significativamente, y estoy seguro de que también estarías de acuerdo en que los ideales democráticos que tú mismo pregonas simplemente no se están siguiendo. También está el tema de los costos. El personal de ICANN le ha recordado repetidamente a LACRALO que existen demasiados grupos de trabajo y que se deben hacer esfuerzos para eliminar algunos o amalgamarlos con el fin de reducir los gastos de reuniones e intérpretes. Como Presidente de LACRALO, propongo una pausa temporal en la participación de los presidentes de los grupos de trabajo como miembros de la junta hasta que podamos deliberar y decidir cómo los grupos de trabajo pueden funcionar de manera efectiva en los próximos años. Reconociendo que han pasado casi 20 años desde la creación de LACRALO, el subconjunto de la junta considera que es momento de revisar todos nuestros procesos de trabajo y determinar si son efectivos. Tras cierta deliberación, el subconjunto de la junta ha estado considerando lo siguiente: • Que los grupos de trabajo deberían crearse según sea necesario y tendrán objetivos, plazos y entregables específicos. • Si los miembros de LACRALO consideran que se necesita un grupo de trabajo para un proyecto específico, los miembros deberían presentar una propuesta a la junta para su consideración. • Que la Junta debería alentar y fomentar la creación de grupos de trabajo para apoyar las actividades de la junta mientras trabajan en el plan estratégico anual. • Si debería haber grupos de trabajo permanentes, y • Si los presidentes de los GTs deberían ser miembros de la junta de LACRALO. Todas estas ideas bajo consideración tienen como objetivo mejorar la estructura, la transparencia, la rendición de cuentas y la participación. Entendemos que esta propuesta necesita discutirse más a fondo, y con mayor detalle, específicamente en lo que respecta a la creación y sostenibilidad de los grupos de trabajo en el futuro. Al concluir nuestras deliberaciones, presentaremos nuestras ideas a los miembros para su revisión y consideración. Como dije anteriormente, llevamos veinte años en existencia. Estamos en una encrucijada en términos de relevancia y efectividad. Debemos hacer el esfuerzo de seguir desarrollando un RALO que sea adaptable, sostenible y que represente eficazmente a nuestra comunidad durante los próximos 20 años. Con mucho gusto discutiré esto contigo y con tus demás colegas con mayor detalle.

Fwd: Directorio II
by Lance Hinds March 20, 2026

March 20, 2026

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sergio Salinas Porto <presidencia(a)internauta.org.ar> Date: Thu, Mar 19, 2026 at 2:49 PM Subject: Directorio II To: Lance Hinds <brainstreetceo(a)gmail.com> Cc: Oscar Giudice <oscar.giudice(a)gmail.com>, Adrian Carballo < ainfodata(a)gmail.com>, Humberto Carrasco <hcarrascob(a)gmail.com>, Marcelo Rodriguez <marcelorodriguez(a)internauta.org.ar> *Spanish and English Bellow* Estimado Lance: No he recibido respuesta de mi email anterior con fecha 10 de febrero del 2026 y vuelvo a hacerlo nuevamente (ahora puse en copia a todos los Directores de Políticas de LACRALO). Como te decía en el mail anterior, desde la nueva asunción del liderazgo en el mes de octubre del 2025, no se han realizado reuniones del Directorio, que tiene como objetivo de coordinar la estrategia de LACRALO bajo su Plan Estratégico y promover la participación dentro de la región, lo que nos permite mantener activa nuestra RALO en las cuestiones fundamentales de trabajo, interoperatividad y debates que se discuten en el ámbito de nuestro ecosistema. También te indicaba que todo esto surge de nuestros principios operativos en su Título VII y de nuestras reglas de procedimiento bajo el Título X. Es necesario que sepas ser un defensor de nuestros principios operativos y reglas de procedimiento que son la base fundamental de nuestra comunidad y que salieron de un acuerdo profundo, después de la última reunión de mediación regional en donde bien recuerdo que fuiste parte. No hay excusas para que un líder regional salte los principios y reglas que dan marco a la participación en nuestra región. Quiero manifestarte, como fundador de LACRALO junto a vos y otros compañeros y como ex Presidente de la región que estoy realmente preocupado por la suspensión de nuestro Directorio. Anteriormente te subrayaba que soy un ferviente defensor de los procesos responsables de participación, y de la amplitud de responsabilidades de trabajo, Soy un convencido de que cuanto más nos alejamos de esto, más se alejan nuestros objetivos colectivos y surgen solo pequeños objetivos individuales que nada tiene que ver con pensar con un grupo colectivo dinámico y vivo. El crecimiento de LACRALO es (y siempre debería de ser así) el trabajo comunitario colectivo, que debe de superar al sujeto individual aislado en nuestro continente no existe el héroe individual (superman, batman, iron man) todos nuestros héroes de independencia fueron colectivos (el pueblo logrando su independencia y liberación de los imperios). Vuelvo a ponerme o a disposición de ayudarte y comprometerme con tu gestión (se que quienes están en este mail también están dispuestos), sin ningún tipo de interés personal salvo el de que las cosas funcionen. Con el mayor de los respetos *English* Dear Lance, I haven't received a response to my previous email dated February 10, 2026, and I'm writing again (this time I've copied all LACRALO Policy Directors). As I mentioned in the previous email, since the new leadership took over in October 2025, no Board meetings have been held. The Board's objective is to coordinate LACRALO's strategy under its Strategic Plan and promote participation within the region, allowing us to keep our RALO active in fundamental issues of work, interoperability, and debates within our ecosystem. I also indicated that all of this stems from our operating principles in Title VII and our rules of procedure under Title X. It's essential that you champion our operating principles and rules of procedure, which are the foundation of our community and emerged from a thorough agreement following the last regional mediation meeting, which I recall you attended. There are no excuses for a regional leader to disregard the principles and rules that govern participation in our region. As a founder of LACRALO, along with you and other colleagues, and as a former President of the region, I want to express my deep concern regarding the suspension of our Board of Directors. I previously emphasized that I am a fervent advocate for responsible participatory processes and broad work responsibilities. I am convinced that the further we stray from this, the further our collective goals become, and only small, individual objectives emerge that have nothing to do with thinking as a dynamic and vibrant collective. The growth of LACRALO is (and always should be) based on collective community work, which must transcend the isolated individual. In our continent, there are no individual heroes (Superman, Batman, Iron Man); all our heroes of independence were collective (the people achieving their independence and liberation from empires). I am once again making myself available to help and commit to your project (I know that those in this email are also willing), with no personal interest other than making things work.
