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…

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....

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.
