Actually, they did ask if they could be LACRALO members - LACRALO determined
it had no issue accepting them if they wanted to be - but that was last year
before there was movement on forming the NARALO.
But with regard to languages - if the agreement was for the official
languages of the members of the regions, then, as PR is a member of the
region, Spanish should be included. No matter how many or how few people
speak it.
ICANN did have a consultation going on the regional classification a while
ago -I can check back to see what came of it - I don't recall seeing a
report or anything yet.

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
