Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC) is one of the five regional RIRs that allocate and administer IP Addresses.^[1] LACNIC's central aim is to manage the Internet number resources, including IPv4, IPv6, and ASN. The organization has approximately 6,000 members spread across 33 countries.^[2]

Overview

LACNIC is the RIR (Regional Internet Registry) responsible for the allocation of IP addresses and other related issues (such as the Autonomous System Numbers and Reserve Resolution) throughout the Latin American and Caribbean region.

LACNIC is a non-profit organization like the other RIRs and its members must comply with its membership requirements. The main members of LACNIC are ISPs and other Internet related organizations.

As of January, 2011 LACNIC has begun DNSSEC Deployment.^[3]

LACNIC History

The agreement for founding LACNIC was signed on August 22nd, 1999 during an ICANN meeting. At that time, ARIN was in charge of the Latin America and Caribbean region. Thus, LACNIC developed a business plan and sent it to ARIN; a transition was necessary to enable LACNIC to become the fourth RIR at that time. The other three RIRs at that time were: APNIC, ARIN, and RIPE NCC.^[4]

LACNIC headquarters are located in Montevideo, Uruguay, and it was formally established in 2001, even though the business plan was sent and approved in 1999. LACNIC was formally recognized by ICANN during ICANN's 2002 meeting in Shanghai.

In January, 2012, LACNIC published a letter explaining its opposition to the much maligned SOPA act being considered in the U.S. Congress.^[5]

LACNIC Functions

In order to fulfill its objectives, LACNIC has the following expectations:

To deal with DNS delegations which must be reversed;
To allocate the appropriate amount of Internet addresses spaces according to IPv6 and IPv4 standards, as well as Autonomous System Numbers;
To represent the interests of Internet users and members of the Latin American and Caribbean regions at a global level;
To maintain the Whois database representative for the Latin American and Caribbean region.
