comentarios re: conflicto de intereses.

Esto es lo que está en el perfil de Sergio Salinas Porto: https://www.icann.org/profiles/sergio-salinas-porto

"El señor Salinas Porto está involucrado en una serie de otras organizaciones internacionales y organizaciones y proyectos regionales; él es un miembro del Foro para Democrática y Popular de Comunicación, Secretaría de Mar de Plata Comunicación para la Central de Trabajadores Argentinos, y el Jefe de Nuevo Tecnologías y Negocios de la Asamblea de Pequeños y Medianos Mar división de Empresarios de Plata ".

Entonces, ¿cómo es que Sergio no tiene un conflicto de interés por ser LACRALO como un "usuario de negocio", ya que está involucrado con la Asamblea de Pequeños y medianos empresarios?

Saludos,

My friend Alejando, I'm going to irritate you some more with rhetoric. And do please accept I am using the classic [English] meaning of the word.

What is alleged is purely unfortunate bullshit.

Lance Hinds is articulated to ICANN via an MOU with ICANN and caucus with the At-Large and LACRALO as a representative of DevNet; he's the Chairman and its representative to LACRALO.

Devnet is a non-governmental organisation that provides ICT development services to those who are on the poor side of the digital divide. DevNet thusly represents end user interests. Think of Devnet as Guyana's version Internauta Usarios etc. etc.

The man is President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce by virtue of his ownership of a small business; Brainstreet Technologies. He derives his income, his living wage, principally from that business. He DOES NOT get paid as President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce.

Here's the issue. It is not unusual for those of us in the Caribbean to have many lives; its called responding to capacity deficit. To say that Lance cannot be a businessman and also represent end user interests when he's Chairman of an NGO - the one thru which he's connected to the ICANN system - just looks delusional for some of us.

At least for those of us in the Caribbean who are volunteers for one thing or other.

Carlton,

The issue is very simple. A number of us find an irreconcilable conflict of interest in Lance Hinds's SoI. This is apparent only once the election was in course.

Simple. No rhetoric needed.

*CC:* Albert Daniels *Asunto:* [lac-discuss-en] This Tiresome 'Irregularity' Claim Against At-Large Staff

I am trying to live a long and useful life. Engagement with LACRALO is debilitating.

I am not communicant - I gave it up since I was 14 years old - so cannot depend on a 'good' God for my salvation. So for objective, I do what I must by avoiding vexations to my spirit.

But the bullshit - I hope the word translates well to Spanish - is just too much and I must break my silence.

In case the translation gets mangled, here is what I mean by bullshit:

Definitions of bullshit noun stupid or untrue talk or writing; nonsense. verb talk nonsense to (someone), typically to be misleading or deceptive.

​It is misleading, even dishonest, to allege misconduct by At-Large staff in this instance and I will tell you why.

Jacqueline has already pithily outlined the classic case but I will repeat it here for effect.

In parts of the world where rules for [s]elections are established and where this exercise of democracy is routine, a candidate satisfying all other criteria and nominated for a position unopposed is duly [s]elected. ​

But this is LACRALO where our collective understanding of the process is, well, let me be generous and say uneven, at best.

We simply don't understand that you cannot disavow or subvert the nomination portion of the process without calling the entire [s]election process into question.

So, we walk extra miles to give those who don't understand time to come along, slowly. That is the basis for the consensus poll - notice it is a poll - and why we in the Caribbean bothered to go along with that in the first place!

As At-Large staff would have told all of you, this is not the same for other RALOs. They have matured in both thought and action.

Why does this bother me, you ask? Because it gets old and tiresome after trying for so long. And since it vexes my spirit, I run the real risk of reducing my life and its quality the longer I caucus here.

Now, to the hypocrites. I ask your forgiveness for not being a good Christian. I simply detest hypocrisy.

In the selection for a NomCom candidate this year, our esteemed colleague from Brazil and incumbent, Sylvia Leite Herlein, was nominated unopposed. I enthusiastically supported her candidacy, not just only for the fact she had performed in the post. But I truly believe that a single 1-year term does not give the region the benefit of her service and expertise nor allow the region to build the influence we need in very important ICANN councils.

I personally discouraged - yes, discouraged - other nominations to muddy the path to her re-selection. We went along with Jacqueline Morris being de-selected after a single year. Maybe that was the wrong thing to do then.

With Sylvia's unopposed [s]election, no consensus poll took place. And the At-Large staff notified the world in the same way as they did for Lance Hinds.

It was not that we in the Caribbean did not notice. Rather, it is because we have never felt any such poll was necessary in the first place.

Contrast then to now. There was not a whimper of complaint from our now erstwhile friends of LACRALO propriety, not one allegation of 'impropriety' raised!

So now, I ask you, what is the difference here? We can either assume the guardians of LACRALO propriety were off busily thumb-sucking, even asleep at the switch.

Or, in this case for Lance Hinds nomination and selection, other operating conditions are applied.

Go figure.
