ICANN Participation
Sergio Salinas Porto is a frequent ICANN attendee,[6][7][8] where he represents Internauta within the Non-Commercial Users Constituency,[9] and is a LACRALO representative to the ALAC.[10]
At ICANN 42 in Dakar, Sergio Salinas Porto addressed ICANN via an open mic session about the issue of The Falkland Islands, and South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands, being given their own ccTLD despite the dispute of their nationality and Argentina's sovereign claim over the territories. He pointed out that while ICANN is not supposed to involve itself in territory disputes, it had effectively recognized these islands as separate sovereign entities through the delegation of ccTLDs; Sergio Salinas Porto, on behalf of Internauta, described them as an integral part of Argentine territory, which is being misrepresented by ICANN.[11] The Argentine foreign ministry also sent a letter to ICANN over the same issue.[12]
