Alex Matias Ojeda Mercado Chilenetworks SPA  Chile Chile Answers Self-nomination Chilenetworks SPA  Throughout my years participating in regional Internet communities, I have enjoyed contributing, triggering conversations, debates, sharing knowledge and experiences, as well as learning. Being part of the Fiscal Commission has always been one of my greatest aspirations. I think it is a very important part of the community and we must ensure that LACNIC is an organization BY and FOR the community. I want to defend the interests of the community over any personal interests. I want to serve as an observer, a critic, and contribute in every way I can to building the organizational base that we all want and deserve.

Miguel Antonio Palacios Gonzalez Comcel Guatemala S.A.  Guatemala Guatemala Answers Self-nomination Comcel Guatemala S.A.  I have been part of LACNIC in representation of an organization since LACNIC was created. I have been working with IPs for more than 20 years. During this time, I have promoted initiatives for the local network, such as the implementation of MPLS, the migration of TDM to IP for 3G mobile technology, then LTE, and more recently promoting the migration to IPv6 within my organization and encouraging the IPv6 movement in Guatemala.
I strongly believe that LACNIC is a living example that the IP community can achieve changes at a global level by doing things in the best possible way in its area of influence. For this reason, I feel motivated to participate more actively in the fiscal commission so that everything will be transparent for this community, the pillar on which LACNIC is built, and they will feel more motivated to participate and promote changes.
