Dear All, The following regional advice was submitted to the ALAC on the following 3 ALS applications 1.-Association of Notary Public Professionals of Uruguay\ (ASOCIACIÓN DE ESCRIBANOS DEL URUGUAY) - Awaiting Regional Advice from LACRALO. Membership in the The Association of Notary Public Professionals of Uruguay is open to only Notaries registered in Uruguay and not to Internet end users. With a subcommittee in the organisation dealing with legal issues in relation to IT, the organisation is not structured to support individual Internet users’ informed participation in related ICANN issues and activities. Thus the regional advice is not to accredit this organisation as a At-Large Structure. 2. Associação Nacional para Inclusão Digital - ANID Members in this organisation are companies and Internet Service Providers and not end users. Furthermore, a review of the objectives of this organisation shows an emphasis on activities related to the development and training of its members in support of business development and not to individual Internet users’ informed participation in related ICANN issues and activities. Whilst this organisation could be involved in other areas of ICANN, the regional advice is not to accredit this organisation as a At-Large Structure. 3. The Ecuadorian Association for Free Software (DTECH ECUADOR GC TECH TICS) We have reviewed the ALS application and while the organisation's objective is not directly Internet related, given the inclusion of end users in the organisation, and a long discussion with one of its members, we believe their inclusion can contribute much to the discussion of related ICANN issues and activities. Thus the regional advice is to accredit this organisation as a At-Large Structure. Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh LACRALO Secretariat
