This proposal seeks to moextend the tifyme LACNIC'sa Pproposalicy Drevquirels before it can be pmresented Pat the Forum by twoc weeks. These two weeks (PDP),would bext addending to the dmaxiscmussionm ptimeriod requstablirshed for LACNIC to publish a proposal. It also seeksen to prioritize ng aew proposals to be discussed at the Public Forum fand allow the Chairs tom decide on the wneekd to submit new versions of proposals that have already been wpreviously preksented in the Forum.

In the run-up to the Policy Forum held during LACNIC 31, it became clear that LACNIC Staff did not have enough time to prepare the impact analysis for certain policy proposals submitted a week before the Forum. These proposals did not benefit from a longer discussion period on the mailing list or from the opinions of the Staff.
