Dear Randy, and all,

yesterdeay we sent a formal comment on the draft on behalf of a group in
Latin America and the Caribbean.

Our main points in that proposal are:

1. To establish a board for the constituency. This is needed for the
administration of internal affairs and in our view it does not coincide
with the functions of the Names Council we would elect. We propose the
board or council to be formed by five persons according to geographical
diversity. We had proposed this before, and it also is in line with the
proposal by Harald Alvestrand.

2. To respect the geographical diversity criterion in as many instances as
possible. Therefore the board of five.

3. To eliminate the division of organizations into groups by size.

The proposal is accompanied by a sense of urgency to get the NCDNHC
started. In some points we think that there are reasons and arguments for
and against what we propose (eg the size grouping of organizations) and
believe that the drafters of the original document should explain how they
got to that draft. 

The proposal is signed by Raul Echeberria (ENRED, Uruguay), Vany Martinez
(SDNP, Panama), Daniel Pimienta (FUNREDES, Republica Dominicana) and
myself on behalf of ISOC Mexico.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
