Evan: With respect to the regional configurations, this originally went off of a UN list, where territories attached to a country were in the region of the country. For this reason, we have French islands in the Caribbean as a part of the European Region, etc. On 5 Jun 2007, at 22:50, Evan Leibovitch wrote:

Well - from what I remember - feel free to correct - Puerto Rico is officially bilingual, isn't it? And it is part of NARALO. I leave it up to the Puerto Rican NARALO member to decide whether to take this forward or not. I believe that after the meeting in SJ, there will be more ALS applicants from PR, so maybe then they can call for Spanish if they want to.
Well, then you open the issue of why there should be a RALO with only three participating jurisdictions.
Funny, elswehere in the world the RALO boundaries are drawn on continental boundaries. Newcomers can only wonder about the politics behind the decision to keep the Caribbean and Mexico out of North America on ICANN's globe.
Of course, one other option is to ask the Puerto Rican ALSs if they'd prefer to be part of the LAC-RALO
