LACNIC Technical Forum

What is the LACNIC Technical Forum?

The LACNIC Technical Forum (FTL) is a space for in-person exchange on Internet technologies, aimed at the Latin American and Caribbean technical community. It is held within the framework of LACNIC events and features high-level presentations on topics such as cybersecurity, IPv6, DNS, IoT, interconnection, routing, and network operations.

A Program Committee and a Pool of Evaluators are responsible for selecting the presentations that make up the technical agenda.

Program Committee

The Program Committee (PC) is responsible for coordinating all aspects related to the content of the LACNIC Technical Forum. This includes preparing and disseminating the call for presentations, assigning proposals to the evaluators, as well as identifying new evaluators and guest speakers to address relevant topics and current issues related to Internet development. The PC also promotes and supports the participation of new voices from the technical community and is in charge of designing and finalizing the Forum's agenda, for both its in-person and virtual formats.

The Program Committee is composed of seven members: three community representatives (one appointed by the LACNOG Board, two by the LACNIC Board) each serving a two-year term, plus four LACNIC staff members.

Pool of Evaluators

Presentations are assessed by an independent group of evaluators selected by the Program Committee considering their experience and technical expertise. This is an honorary role and represents a key contribution for ensuring the technical quality of the Forum. Evaluators’ responsibilities include analyzing the presentations assigned to them by the Program Committee, applying the defined evaluation criteria, and submitting their reviews within the established deadlines.
