Personal Statement:
Being a member of LACNIC's Board of Directors implies more than a complete understanding of the Internet from a technological point of view, which is of course a very valuable aspect. In addition, it also implies understanding the policies relating to Internet Resources and the complex relationships that are woven among the governments, organizations and individuals that coexist in that environment and that do so from different perspectives.
There are the companies that create and provide technologies, the government bodies that regulate the services, the universities and investigation centers that support advancements in this field, and the civil society organizations that work with the aim that the benefits of this tool can duly reach the different sectors of the population, and it is in this scenario that LACNIC has been working during the past years. This scenario is materialized in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean with its corresponding specificities and variations. This is the focus we have attempted to bring to our work during the past three years and which we hope to consolidate within our organization. It is part of what we have learned in the fifteen years we have been working in this field and which made us understand that it was necessary to walk before we would be able to run. Now that we have acquired greater experience and knowledge of the situations we are facing we will be able to give LACNIC an even greater drive.
