24	24	=== What reasons may I have to run for a seat at OSI board? Anyone that has had the chance to review the OSI mailing list has noted some tensions (or at least I interpreted in that way) in different subject matters related to licensing review, the approval process, the tone used in occasions, and so on. ===

26		-=== Firstly I do believe in //participation// and //collaboration// based on the recognization of the work already done, in this case by OSI and its members and former Boards of Director. Therefore, even when it could exist a thing that "should" or "must" be changed, there should recognition of the job done. Basically, critics should be constructive. Being said that, my objectives are two-fold: **1)** The OSI is an International non-profit organization, but unfortunately, it is not as well known as it should be in Latin America. This brings with it as a consequence that all their work and effort are not known. Apart from that, there are private industries and government sectors that as of today are misunderstanding the open source definition promoted by the OSI, since again, they are not clear enough about the OSI role in the international community. Thus, I would like to see a deeper involvement of the OSI in the Latin America Region. Frankly, I have experience in the Legal & Government Affairs in Latin America, thus I would like to use this capacity to foster the OSI activities in Latin America, 2) ===

Frankly, I have experience in the Legal & Government Affairs in Latin America, and I think I can use all my skills to foster OSI activities in Latin America. 2) The second objective is linked with the # 1) above which is promotes the Open Source Definition taking the actions at any level eventually approved by the Board to be executed. ===
