My Dear Friend Alberto: While I understand your plight, please permit me to disagree with you. It is real easy to conflate your immediate needs with that of LACRALO. But in this case it is not necessarily so. My use of the word 'principle' to signal my opposition was intended to convey the most conservative sense of its meaning. Sylvia took the time to explore the principle I referred in greater detail. My thanks to her. When you use language as a delimiter, it sends the wrong message. We see its fruit in the culmination of that unfortunate exchange between ISOC Mexico and Bango Barbados. As Sylvia pointed out, some of us have worked very hard to remove language as a barrier to LACRALO's efforts. It is therefore reasonable and not irrational for one to read this insertion as intention to exclude. My preeminent interest is not about who goes to Singapore. As you'd note by now, others have proposed other candidates using standards they think would be universal. Ironically, Carlos, Sergio and others would have been excluded in earlier days from making their contributions to LACRALO if the language discriminant now proposed was adopted. For the record and hopefully, with your understanding.

Dear Silvia, just answer Carlton on the same cuestin. Just trying to Humberto is replaced with the same functionality with which we are working. This is not a prize, only replacement requires some peculiarities. And as I said before, I think my behavior through the years not worth a qualification of this type. If this causes problems, then I withdraw the proposed replacement and see how achievement desempear my duties during the meeting in Singapore. I was alone in Los Angeles and hope to arreglrmelas again. For Monthly Reunin, you will ask Len, Ftima or Vanda that desempeen the function of Secretariat. Best Regards

Importance: High

Dear all: I'm surprised with the request condition of bilingualism posed Alberto. And also catches my attention that this issue has been raised directly and tried to resolve the monthly teleconference without after consulting the list of LACRALO. I totally agree with Carlton and I am absolutely opposed to this given exclusive. And like Carlton advise the ALS to be express in the same way. It seems long gone and who makes this proposal (Alberto) seems not LACRALO have been part of since its inception. These issues have already been discussed extensively and luckily RESOLVED to post a general understanding that we are a region mainly two major languages \u200b\u200b(although we have ms) and either (espaol and English) are most important one another. I do not think I'm writing this on the day today after so many years of attempts at union between Latinoamrica and Caribbean !!!

I want to nominate Sergio Salinas Porto for his work tirelessly since always LACRALO, including without ningn official position that would force to. Also, currently, Sergio is leading two workgroups in our region and I think it is an excellent member of LACRALO for represent us in Singapore. No ms, Best regards, Sylvia

FWIW, LACRALO can not make this request condition language. This is intrinsically discriminatory and do not defend the interests of LACRALO.

Record that, unless it withdraws objection will be allowed in principle, and advise all ALS Caribbean to do the same.

Dear all,

Staff Translation of message just sent by LACRALO's Chair:

=================================

...

Dear all

Constituency Travel has informed us that it is possible to send a traveler to fill Humberto's travel slot to Singapore. As I suggested yesterday in our monthly call, I would like to suggest Carlos Aguirre. He can help us to organize meetings F2F with possible speakers for our Capacity building events. Carlos is in charge of LACRALO capacity building activities.

If you would like to propose another LACRALO member, the only condition would be that the person be able to speak EN and ES and that he/she does not have visa requirements/issues for Singapore.

Deadline: Thursday 22 at 23 UTC.

Kind regards,

Alberto Soto
