Subject: Proposal for the new organization


The LACTLD (Latin American & Caribbean country code Top Level
Domain Organization) represents Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia,
Chile, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. We are
members of both ENRED (Foro de Redes de America Latina y el Caribe)
and wwTLD alliance.

We want to express our support to the IANA's fifth set of proposed
bylaws which Mr. Jon Postel recently sent to the USG NTIA.

However, we continue to be deeply concerned about the lack of
representation on the proposed new IANA board for the
regions of Latin America, and Africa.

The Green Paper of the USG had previously touched upon this
issue, and we unanimously agreed upon it during a recent meeting held in
Buenos Aires, Argentina (as part of the IFWP process).

We do believe that at least one individual with as
substantial qualifications as the current nominees could be
found in the Latin America and Caribbean region, and
therefore would like that if a comment from wwwTLD is to be
submitted, this point was mentioned.
