Hi Nick I thought that Jocob took comments from the Caribbean to collate – I know there was a discussion on it. I can collate if that didn’t happen… Jacqueline From: Nick Ashton-Hart [mailto:nick.ashton-hart@icann.org] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 4:19 AM To: jam@jacquelinemorris.com Cc: 'Evan Leibovitch'; ediaz@dconsultinggroup.com; 'NA Discuss' Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] Language The region consultation is still going on - every month I'm asked by someone within ICANN to get -SOME- response on that consultation from the At-Large community. At the moment, PR is in North America because of the regional configuration of the ICANN Geographic Regions. If PR wants to move to LAC, again, now would be the time to put that suggestion forward.... -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: HYPERLINK "mailto:nick.ashton-hart@icann.org"nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: HYPERLINK "mailto:ashtonhart@hotmail.com"ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: HYPERLINK "mailto:nashtonhart@mac.com"nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: HYPERLINK "https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart"https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonha rt On 6 Jun 2007, at 01:18, Jacqueline A.

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.

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 - Evan No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
