Would it be a safe assumption to say that the only people on this list that 
are non-multilingual are native English speakers?

Anyway, the message from Erick was saying literally:

Hi..
I share with you the following, that I believe to be of interest for you.
Erick

LatinoamerICANN publishes a Spanish version of the ICANN Bylaws
http://latinoamericann.derecho.org.ar/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=519&mode=thread&order=1&thold=0

The target audience of this message was obviously primarily (although not 
exclusively) the Spanish speaking community, and the most appropriate 
language to diffuse this message is therefore Spanish.

Regards
Roberto
