[[-- Translated text (es -> en) --]] Hello, to follow up on today's meeting on ICANN's strategy for region, I summarize the points I presented, with the understanding that if we follow intending that LACRALO advance without the active commitment of the Board Members (council members, NomCom members, etc.) from the region, we will progress little, badly and late compared to what is possible with their contributions: 1. Policy first. It is of little use to attract new people and organizations "because it's interesting" or improve our relationships and teamwork (a laudable end in itself, of course) if we don't end up producing a impact on policy development. The planning of LACRALO and the support from the Board and staff should contribute to this. 2. To feed the previous point we must identify the "how" and the "what" of successful policy development. We must start from cases of PDP success with advocacy developed by RALOs. Leon Felipe and Lito from the Board, and Rodrigo from staff, must lead a process of selection on which we base our capacity building program. 3. One issue we need to focus on is the collision between DNS abuse, its prevention, and the corresponding forensic investigations and litigation, and laws and practices such as the GDPR, national laws for the protection of personal data (increasingly restrictive, as seen now in Brazil). Many of these laws are protecting data more than users themselves. 4. We must prepare to advocate with governments and authorities multistakeholder of each country facing the ITU, diplomacy multilateral organization at the UN that intervenes in processes such as the GGE (Group of Governmental Experts) and OEWG (Open Ended Working Group) of the AG (Assembly General) for rules on the conduct of States in Cyberspace, UNESCO, and other organizations. A development of capacities and a constant communication will give us that ability to seriously address the geopolitical angle pointed out especially by León Felipe in his intervention. This type of topic and those of the previous points should be part of an advanced capacity building program, complementary to the basic one that the School work group is planning LACRALO. By the way in the School we must already generate Open Access to all SSIGs materials and similar contributions developed by the ALS. 5. We must stimulate organic collaboration between the ALS, its members, and now also the very valuable possibility of having contributions of individual members. It became clear that the potential of these is in risk of being wasted; we must heed the call of Laura Margolis. 6. LACRALO's contributions must be structured among other axes main, around the strategic plan for the region. Let's develop objectives, actions and metrics (not binding for now) around the LACRALO and ALS contribution to KAIs (key activities of interest) presented by Rodrigo. I hope that in a few weeks we can structure activities within this framework. Greetings.
