Planning Committee, June 2025.
By Ernesto Majó, LACNIC CEO
Each new planning cycle offers us an opportunity to listen, learn, and collectively shape the path that LACNIC will follow in the coming years. More than simply defining goals, this process allows us to look ahead together with our community and members, acknowledging what we have learned and better preparing for what lies ahead.
The work on the new strategy that will guide us through the 2026-2029 period began last year. As in every planning cycle, the process involved broad participation and reaffirmed a practice that has guided us for more than two decades: collaboratively defining LACNIC’s direction to strengthen our mission and continue evolving alongside the Latin American and Caribbean Internet community.
A Collective Construction
In developing our strategy, we placed special emphasis on listening to the voices of our members, the technical community, the board of directors, our staff, regional (NIR) and global (RIR) Internet registry colleagues, and other stakeholders who are part of the Internet ecosystem. This approach provided us with a broad and diverse perspective that enriched our analysis and work with a view to the future.
Satisfaction surveys, support and visits to our members, meetings at various events and other dialogue spaces, along with the experience accumulated over these years, are key for identifying the lessons learned, opportunities, and challenges that guide our work into the future.
The result of this process is a roadmap that strengthens our core principles—transparency, participation, and excellence—and guides our efforts to continue fulfilling our purpose: serving our community and contributing to the development of an open, stable, and secure Internet.

Meaningful Continuity
The strategy we prepared and will implement from 2026 to 2029 consolidates LACNIC’s direction and reaffirms its commitment to continuous improvement, collaboration, and the community. It sets the priorities that will steer our growth and the creation of sustained value for our members and for the regional Internet ecosystem.
Three strategic axes guide our actions: ensuring an accurate registry and excellence in the services we provide to our members; strengthening the community through integration and development; and promoting a sustainable Internet based on open standards and open, participatory governance.
Preparing for the Future
As we move toward 2029, we will continue to strengthen the capabilities that set LACNIC apart: the region’s technical leadership, organizational transparency and efficiency, information security, and cross-team collaboration. These capabilities allow us to remain a solid, collaborative, and adaptable organization, one that is prepared to respond to the challenges presented by the environment and deliver sustained value to our members and the broader Internet community.
