LIRNE Coordinator, Amy Mahan and Bruce Girard, Director of Comunica, are participating in the LACNIC Consultation Meeting, being held in Montevideo on 19 -20 August 19.
LACNIC is summoning a consultation meeting with the aim of informing the actors of the regional Internet community (governments, civil society organization, business chambers and associations, academic networks) its activities, projects, achievements and goals, as well as to receive their opinion on the issues most relevant to the community.
LACNIC is committed to the agreements of the World Summit on the Information Society, which concluded in 2005 with the adoption of the Tunis Agenda for the Information Society, and particularly to the calling these agreements make to reinforce cooperation between all parties interested in the issue of Internet Governance and the administration of critical Internet resources. Consequently, this meeting represents one further step to facilitate the participation of different actors in relation to issues that are of regional interest.

The LIRNE Events and Links page has two new resources: competition authority resources and a calendar of upcoming events.
In recognition of the increasing the role of competition regulation in ICT sector, we are beginning to collect resources from national competition regulators. This information is presented in the same manner as our tables of national telecom regulators and links to their statistical resources and sector reports. The intrepid LIRNE assistant researcher, Alejandra Davidziuk, is tracking down all of these links and keeping them up-to-date.
Another new feature is the Google calendar of upcoming ICT regulation and policy related conference, workshops, seminars and courses. The calendar entries are colour coded and organised by region, and (by clicking on full details/mas detalles) include a full record of the event including links to the conference website and deadlines for important dates. The Google calendar also has other functionalities such as being able to export entries to your own calendar.
The downloadable .pdf version of the upcoming events is also maintained for people who prefer that format.
Please use our Contact page to suggest events that should be included on the calendar.
