Motion to update Rule 14.4 of RoP
Whereas Rule 14.4 says in the English version of LACRALO’s Rules of Procedure (RoP):
“14.4 15.5 Where there is a fee for membership of the organization of which the Assembly is the decision-making body, the Secretariat will provide information on the status of all compulsory and voluntary contributions to all requestors, as applicable, prior to the opening of the Assembly.”
“14.4 There shall be no membership fee imposed. Any financial contribution to the organization shall be publicized, the Secretariat will provide information on the status of all contributions to all requestors, as applicable, prior to the opening of the Assembly.”
and Rule 14.4 says in the Spanish version of LACRALO’s RoP:
“14.4 15.5 Cuando haya una tarifa por la membresía de una organización para la cual la Asamblea toma las decisiones, el Secretario dará información sobre el estatus de todas las contribuciones obligatorias y voluntarias a todo aquel que lo solicite, según corresponda, antes de la apertura de la Asamblea.”
“14.4 No habra tarifa por membresia. Cualquier contribucion financiera a la organizacion tiene que ser publicitada y el Secretario dará informacion sobre el estatus de todas las contribuciones a todo aquel que lo solicite, según corresponda, antes de la apertura de la Asamblea.”
we propose removing the first clause of Rule 14.4 which was supposed to have been struck off and replaced with the second clause. So Rule 14.4 in English will read
“14.4 There shall be no membership fee imposed. Any financial contribution to the organization shall be publicized, the Secretariat will provide information on the status of all contributions to all requestors, as applicable, prior to the opening of the Assembly.”
and Rule 14.4 in Spanish will read
“14.4 No habra tarifa por membresia. Cualquier contribucion financiera a la organizacion tiene que ser publicitada y el Secretario dará informacion sobre el estatus de todas las contribuciones a todo aquel que lo solicite, según corresponda, antes de la apertura de la Asamblea.”
