LACNIC Technical Forum
The LACNIC Technical Forum (LTF) is a space for the LACNIC community to share and discuss Internet technologies and implementations. It takes place within the framework of LACNIC events and includes high-level technical presentations on topics such as cybersecurity, IPv6, DNS, the Internet of Things, interconnection, routing, Content Distribution Networks, and regulations.
LTF is a space promoted by LACNIC in response to community members’ need to strengthen their technical skills and build capacity to manage their networks.
In 2020, LACNIC began a process to review and update the LTF’s operating mechanism with the aim of improving its scope and technical level, as well as ensuring its growth.
This process was completed in 2021, when the LTF began to operate under a structure comprised of a Program Committee and a broad group of evaluators who cover various areas of expertise.
About the Program Committee
The responsibilities of the Program Committee include:
- Preparing the call for presentations
- Disseminating the call for presentations
- Distributing the presentation proposals among the different evaluators
- Searching for new evaluators
- Searching for guest lecturers with presentation on key or novel topics related to Internet development
- Promoting and supporting new figures of the technical community
- Designing and deciding the final content of the FTL program
The Program Committee is made up by six members:
- Three community representatives (one of them selected by the LACNOG Board, the other two by the LACNIC Board), each serving a two-year term
- Four members of the LACNIC staff
