Hello Humberto,
Based on your email, it seems that LACRALO already has made the decision via consensus that it does not support any additional Candidate to be included in the Final Slate, regardless of EURALO’s petition decision. Hence, LACRALO does not need to organize a vote reacting to EURALO’s petition.
Please be so kind to send a confirmation email to program-admin@atlarge.icann.org stating that LACRALO does not support EURALO’s petition on Sebastien Bachollet, and I will forward that to the BMSPC.
Thank you so much! Ariel

Dear Ariel and Heidi,
In the case of LACRALO, we asked the opinion of our members via mailing list.
The 3rd of January I sent the following email to the list:
"Dear All,
As you are aware, we are in a process for the At-large community to participate in the process of choosing the 15th position for the ICANN board.
On 16 December 2016, the BCEC concluded its Candidate Evaluation process and announced that the following Candidates will be named as the (initial) BCEC Slate of Candidates, be automatically included in the Final Slate, and go forward to the next stage of the selection process organized by the BMSPC. The Candidates, listed in alphabetical order of the last name, are:
Alan Greenberg (Canada) Leon Felipe Sanchez Ambia (Mexico)
In spite of the above, LACRALO has the option to incorporate more candidates to this list. The candidates that can be incorporated are the following: Sebastien Bachollet (France) William Michael Cunningham (United States) Hago Dafalla (Libya) Nigel Phair (Australia) Candidates will be added only if they receive support through a formal vote of at least three of the five RALOs; each RALO shall vote according to its respective rules. Subsequently, the Final Slate of Candidates will proceed to an election by the ALAC Members and RALO Chairs, which is culmination of the ICANN Board Director selection process.
We want to emphasize that the proposal of adding candidates is an OPTION and not an obligation. We can conclude that we do not want to add new candidates to the list.
As a result of the above, a discussion process will open that will run until January 9, 2016. The discussion will be carried out in LACRALO's mailing list and in the wiki in the following link[community.icann.org].
If there is consensus or a majority opinion that we must add a new candidate, an election process will be open, and it will run from January 12, 2017 until January 18, 2017.
Regards"
We only had opinions supporting the option in order not to include any other candidate. Thus, the conditions to add a new candidate were not successful. Maritza explained the situation in our last monthly meeting, summarizing the emails.
However, EURALO made this petition. Do we have to organize a voting process even though the requirements were not met according to our mail?
Regards
Humberto

Dear All,
This is to let you know that by the 23 Jan 2017 23:59 UTC deadline, the European Regional At-Large Organization (EURALO) concluded its vote on adding Sébastien Bachollet to the Final Slate for the ICANN Board Director position selected by the At-Large Community.
The vote result confirms EURALO ALSes' support for Sébastien's petition: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/euro-discuss/2017-January/004759.html[atlarge-lists.icann.org].
The Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSC) herby informs the other RALOs that, to decide whether they would support the EURALO petition to add Sébastien Bachollet on the final slate, they will have to conduct their formal decision making process, according to RALO's respective rules of procedure. If a RALO has already conducted its formal decision making process to decide not to support any petition, no further action is required for that RALO but they have to inform program-admin@atlarge.icann.org that they do not wish to support Sebastien's petition. The deadline for the other RALOs to make their decisions and inform program-admin@atlarge.icann.org is Sunday, 29 January 23:59 UTC.
Background Information
For background information of the RALO petition process, please read this[atlarge.icann.org] announcement.
To learn more about the ICANN Board Director Selection Process, please visit the At-Large Board Member Selection workspace[community.icann.org].
Any questions regarding the process should also be directed by email to program-admin@atlarge.icann.org. They will be answered as quickly as possible.
