Welcome to our fourth daily recap!

On Tuesday, during the LACNIC Policy Forum, the following proposals were discussed with the following results:

  • LAC-2012-05 - Post-exhaustion IPv4 IANA-distributed allocations/assignments (Gustavo Lozano) - Consensus was reached.
  • LAC-2012-09 - Update RIRs-on-48 (Ricardo Patara) - Consensus was reached.
  • LAC-2012-10 - Allocation of IPv6 address blocks larger than a /32 (Ricardo Patara) - Consensus was reached with a minor modification that does not affect the spirit of the proposal ("binary boundaries" was replaced by "hexadecimal boundaries")
  • LAC-2012-12 - Eliminating requirement for initial IPv4 End-User requests (Pedro R. Torres Jr.) – Reached consensus with a minor modification in the Spanish version of the title (the word "requerimientos" was replaced by "requisitos").
  • LAC-2011-08v3 - Including RPKI repository data in the Whois database when available (Flavio Marcelo Amaral) - Abandoned by the author.
  • LAC-2012-11 - Requirement to sign up for RPKI when requesting additional resources (Roque Gagliano). No consensus was reached. The proposal will be sent back to the list for further discussion.

On Wednesday afternoon, from 2:30 to 5:00 pm, four additional policies were discussed (available at  http://www.lacnic.net/web/lacnic/politicas). Results will be reported in tomorrow's daily recap.

The 3rd Regional Meeting of Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) was also held today, with the participation of 30 representatives of different groups from around the region.  Belisario Contreras of OAS/CICTE participated remotely from Washington, via videoconference.

At noon, the women participating in the event came together to share a lunch were they talked about their experiences in the ICT field. This occasion was much appreciated by the participants who favored networking.

Within the framework of LACNOG 2012, two panels were scheduled – SDN (Software-Defined Networks) and Internet Infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean.  These presentations will be available at http://www2.lacnic.net/sp/eventos/lacnicxviii/agenda.html

The day ended with a gala dinner to which all participants were invited.  As a surprise, Raul Echeberría, CEO of LACNIC and Felix Fernandez, Human Resources Manager of Lacnic, gave a special recognition to five people from the LACNIC staff that have been with the organization for more than six years: Ernesto Majó, Adriana Rivero, Florencia Bianchi, Paula Manci and Ximena Garreta.

The dinner featured a spectacular show by Ruben Rada, a world-renowned Uruguayan singer-songwriter who was awarded the 2011 Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.  Photographs of the party will be published on Thursday at the event's website.
