Call for Nominations
This is an open call for nominations to fill one (1) seat on the IANA Numbering Services Review Committee (RC) in representation of the LACNIC region.
The elected representative will serve a two-year term beginning on 1st January 2021.
About the Review Committee
How many members are part of the RC in representation of LACNIC?
Three.
What are their powers and responsibilities?
According to the Service Level Agreement for the IANA Numbering Services, the Internet Number Community calls for a Review Committee. The RC's function is to advise and assist the NRO EC in its periodic review of the service level of the IANA Numbering Services provided to the Internet Number Community.
Members of this committee serve on an honorary basis, without receiving compensation for their services. Likewise, members of the RC will not receive from LACNIC or from the NRO any compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their services.
While it is not expected that travel will be part of the duties of the members of the RC, in case it is necessary for them to do so, LACNIC will cover the transportation and accommodation costs for LACNIC region representatives to attend the events where their participation is required so that they can exercise their duties on behalf of the LACNIC Community.
Important information regarding this election process

- If this extension to the nomination period expires and there are still no candidates meeting all the requirements, the LACNIC Board will appoint the RC member, taking into consideration the requirements specified for the position.
- Should failure to perform their duties affect the RC's operation, the LACNIC Board may decide the removal of any member of the RC. The Board will publish the reasons for the removal and will appoint a temporary substitute member within a maximum of two weeks. This temporary substitute member will serve on the Committee until the following election.
