Is it posible for a country to be a member of two or more Ralos at the same time?
"Vote in one; participate in all" would be my suggestion.
At least while I was chair of NARALO, that was our unofficial policy. Anyone from any region could participate in our issues, but only the NA-associated ALSs and individuals would be considered in any votes or consensus decisions. And, indeed, we have had many observers and participants from other regions over the years. I can't speak for other regions, but I know that I personally have attended phone-call conferences in at least three other regions and was welcomed in the discussions at all times. So while "Vote in one; participate in all" may not be explicitly stated policy, it is indeed how things work. (BTW I would *not* add the above to the NARALO statement because it deals with inter-RALO relationships rather than geographical alignment.) - Evan
