This proposal updates the functions of the LACNIC Board of Directors listed in the PDP. It also introduces editorial changes to avoid repetitions and modifies the order of the text.

This proposal updates the functions of the LACNIC Board of Directors listed in the PDP. It also introduces editorial changes to avoid repetitions and modifies the order of the text.

The current text of section 3.5. (LACNIC Board of Directors) specifies that the Board must perform certain tasks during its first meeting after the last call for comments.

However, it has already occurred that the agenda of this meeting has collapsed due to more pressing issues or a very large number of proposals, so not all assigned tasks have been carried out, resulting in a non-compliance with the PDP.

This does not seem reasonable considering that, in case of extreme necessity, multiple proposals can be addressed in two meetings instead of being limited to the first one.

Likewise, a review of the text of the PDP shows the possibility of a “power vacuum” in the event that both moderators are removed, which should obviously be avoided. For this reason, the candidates with the highest number of votes in the previous elections would be considered and the Board of Directors would thus avoid the more time-consuming option of conducting a search for candidates.

In addition, the series of changes that have been introduced to the PDP has resulted in unnecessary duplications, so the authors take advantage of this to eliminate them and reorganize the entire text.
