Institutional Cooperation: Projects in progress
Ernesto MajóCommunications Manager
LACNIC
LACNIC Vision 2009
To be a leader in the construction and articulation of collaborative efforts for
Internet development and stability in Latin America and the Caribbean
Strategic lines
Capacity building (FRIDA, WALC) Strengthening regional infrastructure
(+Raices, IXP/NAPLA) Internet Critical resources (+RAICES,
6DEPLOY) Regional and International Forums (eLAC,
IGF, CITEL) Institutional cooperation (LACTLD, CLARA,
eCOMLac)
Regional Fund for Digital Innovation in Latin America and
the Caribbean
Background Low research investment rates (R+D/GDP) Lack of Policies to promote research Poor relationship between academy and business sector Research focused on non-profitable issues Low private investment R+D+I rates Poor dissemination of research results Technology originated outside LAC
Main Goal
To enhance the regional capability of developing knowledge and its influence on the development of ICT public policies related to solving relevant issues in LAC which limit the development of the Information Society.
General layout
To articulate organizations from different countries
To reach all countries and regions, including less developed countries (Caribbean, Central America, Paraguay, Bolivia)
To promote institutional capacity building eLAC 2007, 2010 Incidence in policy

REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE
+RAICES
Root servers are a key part of the Internet, For technology reasons the number of this servers is
limited to 13 10 of them are located in USA, 2 in Europe and 1 in Japan Anycast technology made possible to have clones of
Servers and locate them around the world At this moment there are more than 100 copies Two copies before +Raices in LAC region
+RAICES To deploy Internet DNS root servers 2004 MoU with ISC – F Root Server responsible Project Roles:
ISC, F root server responsible, gives its experience and expertise to manage anycast copies
Local Host: provides facilities (building, conectivity and some equipments)
LACNIC identify local hosts and provides funds for installation and maintennance costs during the fisrt 2 years.
Others (Connectivity, equipments)
+RAICES
Main Results:
5 root servers installed Chile (2005), Argentina and Venezuela (2006); Panama and Equador (2007)
In articulation with: governments, academy, private associations
2008: two copies to be located in Colombia and Caribe?
Other Root Servers to deploy?

eLAC working group
REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL FORUMS
eLAC
It was the result of the Regional Conference of Governments, in 2005 (Río de Janeiro). eLAC-2007 includes 70 goals.
eLAC-2007 process is runs by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC)
LACNIC has activities that directly contribute with the achievement of 25 of the eLAC-2007 objectives probing that LACNIC is an active actor in the development of the Information Society in our region.
LACNIC usually participates in every eLAC activities, working groups, etc. Specially in those working groups related to the technical stability of Internet.
LACNIC and eLAC-2010
A new round of goals set by the governments to be achieved by 2010.
LACNIC participated during the debates and the elaboration of the 83 goals of the San Salvador Commitment.
Particularly, goal 15 referring to IPv6:
“ Carry out actions geared towards promoting the adoption of the IPv6 protocol at the public and private levels with a view to making all public services offered via the IP protocol, as appropriate, available on IPv6 and ensuring that the main State infrastructure and applications are IPv6-compatible. Actions to be implemented will, to the extent possible, include the early implementation of requirements to ensure that government procure equipment and applications that are IPv6-compatible.”
