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 in 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 first meeting’s agenda has collapsed due to more pressing issues or a very large number of proposals and not all assigned tasks have been carried out, therefore resulting in non-compliance with the PDP.

This does not seem reasonable considering that different proposals may, in case of extreme necessity and at the discretion of the board, be discussed over several meetings, not just the first, which seems to be a misinterpretation of the existing wording and should be clarified.

In addition, the current text seems to ‘forget’ other functions of the board such as the PDP chair election process and does not allow the board to delegate functions to specific commissions.

Likewise, the series of changes that have been introduced to the PDP has resulted in unnecessary duplications, so the authors are also taking advantage of this proposal to eliminate such duplications and reorganize the text in this section.
