LACNIC provided updates on membership growth, IPv4 resource policies, and training events. Membership has grown significantly since 2002, with over 7,000 members now. The Soft Landing Phase II policy ended in February 2017 after allocating IPv4 resources in blocks of /22 every 6 months from a pool of /10. Phase III will allocate one /22 from the remaining /10 pool and is expected to last over 5 years. Intra-RIR transfers were allowed starting in 2016. LACNIC also conducted numerous training workshops across Latin America on topics like IPv6, security, IXPs, and RPKI. Three policy proposals were discussed at LACNIC 26, with one receiving consensus and two being returned to

9. Proposals presented in Lacnic 26
Three proposals were discussed at the Public Policy Forum in LACNIC 26, San José, Costa Rica.
Got consensus
• LAC-2016-2: This proposal reserves a /15 IPv4 pool, out
of current new entrants pool, for critical infrastructure
and should be put in execution after the new entrant
pool is exhausted.
Returned to the mailing list
• LAC-2016-3: Removes the single and multi-homed
verification from the analysis for initial IPv4 allocation (abandoned last month).
• LAC-2016-5: Creates a new organization category in the
IPv6 allocation criteria for non commercial Internet
Services Providers (governmental or academic network).
One new proposal is also being discussed in the Policy list and will be presented in the next Public Policy
Forum:
• LAC- 2017-2 One way Inter RIR transfers to LACNIC

10. Other relevant information
• Processes: during 2016 we achieved ISO 9001-2015
certification (3 core processes: Registry, Policies and
Events)
• Great place to work (LACNIC ranked in the 5th position
2016)
