How does the organization ensure that all of its members, particularly women in rural areas or with limited access to the Internet, participate actively in the design, implementation, and assessment of its activities? I thank the distinguished representative from Nicaragua.
Would it be possible to instead of mentioning specifically Internet access, would it be possible to rephrase the question as, how does the organization reach out to its audience? Because, the basically what we think is the audience of the organization don't have to, you know, use Internet.
So it would it be possible to rephrase the question more generally? Well, the thing is that the organization says that its members, the members of the organization, live in rural areas.
That's why I asked, how do its members who live in rural areas, how do they actively participate in the implementation and organization of the organization's work? Because if they live in rural areas and they don't have access to the Internet and they don't have access to other means of communication, how can they participate? That was my question.

Could the NGO indicate whether the members of the organization's governing bodies are elected or appointed and describe the relevant selection process.
In addition, which body holds the final decision making authority within the organization? I thank the distinguished representative from Armenia.
Is it the statute or bylaws of the NGO provide those provisions regarding membership structure or election of bodies? If there is no provision in that regard, we can move along with the question.
In its reply to question 12, it enumerates several governing bodies, but it's not clear for us which is the highest decision making body and how the members of these governing bodies are elected.
If the NGO could elaborate more on this process, we would appreciate that.
Thank you.

2027 is the next year.
It's not to it's 2026 and 2027 is the next year.

Is there any discrepancy between the application form and the bylaws of the NGO? Because the question you asked may have already been answered in the bylaws of the NGO, you have the floor.
The thing is, Chairman, that they didn't specifically answer what I'm asking now.
Both those designated by the municipality and the executive are not members of the government of Costa Rica.
But what I'm asking is if these people appointed both by the municipality and the executive, if they take part in decision making within the administrative board or if they can vote or participate in the strategies and everything that the organization does.
That's what I'm wondering.
Do they have a vote within the board? That's not the same as participating? No.
There's a difference between just participating and actually having a vote.
