2022 Elections: LACNIC Board of Directors
Important:
The LACNIC Board recommends refraining from mass messaging contacts obtained from LACNIC's database for election campaign purposes. Likewise, the LACNIC Board reminds everyone that the purpose of the LACNIC mailing lists is to discuss specific topics and that they should therefore not be used to campaign during elections.
Positions, Duties and Activities
A call for candidates to fill two positions on the LACNIC Board is now open.
The Board is comprised of seven members who each serve a three-year term in a voluntary (unpaid) capacity. Candidates to the Board must comply with the provisions of the LACNIC Board Member Commitment, which they must sign before starting their term.
Among other relevant duties, members of the Board are responsible for executive decisions relating to the ratification of policy proposals, for convening member assemblies, for overseeing the management and monitoring of LACNIC's financial reports, for following up on the organization’s Strategic Plan, and for defining regulations and internal procedures for their work. For further details, refer to Article 26 of the LACNIC Bylaws.
