Consideration of the possibility of starting the LACRALO General Assembly on a date prior to the face-to-face call during the ICANN76 meeting to be held in Cancun (Mex) in mid-March 2023, and taking into account the stipulations contained in the Rules of Procedure of the region, all this in order to reach the meeting in Cancun with the Assembly already open and its designated authorities, which would result in the provision of more time to discuss planned and important issues for the consolidation of the present and future work of the Regional Organization. We advance position in a POSITIVE sense, however, and in order for it to comply with current regulations, certain precautions that are detailed below must be met:
1- Determine again, preferably by the middle or end of February, the date of the General Assembly.
2- Communicate through a mailing list to the representatives of each ALS, the determination of the new start date of the GA, with the clarification that starting on a date prior to the face-to-face meeting is for the sole purpose of choosing the authorities of the Assembly (President and Secretary) and that once elected and proclaimed, the GA will move to the intermediate room until March 13, when they will meet again in Cancun to continue with all the planned agenda.
3- Establish that the procedure for the nomination and election of the president and secretary will be in the same call, which will be carried out electronically and through an online video call tool, on a day and time to be determined and to be carried out during the month February. The opening of the AG will therefore be carried out in a virtual way, as well as the nomination of candidates and election of authorities by simple majority of votes cast, the secret casting of votes will be respected and for a single candidate for each position.
4- On the day of the call/opening of the GA, and prior to starting it, compliance with the quorum required by the Rules of Procedure of 50% of the active ALSs for virtual meetings will be verified (art. 15 Rules of Procedure ).
5- Once the voting of the candidates has been carried out, they will proceed to proclaim them and they will immediately assume their function, and whose only action that day and during the call, will be to decree the pass to the intermediate room until March 13 and to be continued in Cancun and in person.
All of the above having taken into account the LACRALO Rules of Procedure in force to date, especially art. 9; 10; eleven; 11.3; 12; 13; 15 and 16.
