Staff has just announced the results of the ALAC vote on the RAA Statement: a vote of 9-0 in favour. This means that 40% of the ALAC did not bother to vote. Those that didn't vote: 1 Annette Muehlberg 2 Carlos Aguirre 3 Jose Ovidio Salgueiro 4 Robert Guerra 5 Thu Hue Nguyen 6 Fatimata Seye Sylla As for me, I'm getting a little bit tired of hearing that one of our elected NARALO reps isn't participating as expected (with a track record that consists mostly of Apologies, Absent, Apologies, Absent, Apologies, Apolgies, Absent, Apologies, Absent, Apologies, Absent). If the NARALO is going to be well served, it needs to have a rep that shows up more than occasionally and who casts a vote when votes are held. At our next monthly meeting we should have a frank discussion about this situation.
