LACNIC Community Analyzes New Policy Proposals
September 28, 2020
The Latin American and Caribbean Internet Community is currently discussing seven policy proposals in preparation for the upcoming editions of the Public Policy Forum.
Part of these proposals will be analyzed during the LACNIC 34 LACNOG 2020 Public Policy Forum which will take place on Tuesday 6 October starting at 17:00 UTC.
Given the limited availability of time, the commitments to presenters and the limitations of the event agenda, a group of these proposals will be discussed at LACNIC 34 while the others will be analyzed at a new, additional forum.
The purpose of splitting the forum into two is to allow sufficient time for a constructive and enriching discussion of each proposal.

Policy proposals under discussion. Jordi Palet Martinez will be presenting the sixth version of his proposal (LAC-2019-7- v6) which seeks to modify to the PDP chair election process. The idea is to introduce changes to the procedure for the election of PDP chairs, including the prohibition of campaigning for or against the candidates on the public discussion lists and modifying the procedure in case of a tie.
Palet also submitted policy proposal LAC-2020-3, which specifies a time line and a mandatory impact analysis for each version of a policy proposal. In addition, Palet submitted policy proposal LAC-2020-6, which introduces several changes to the Policy Development Process.
The same author is promoting LAC-2020-4, which promotes adjustments to the functions of the LACNIC Board, including the time they have to ratify a policy proposal.
