==LACTLD and ICANN==
 
LACTLD was supportive of the functioning of [[ICANN]] as a private entity. It was of the view that, with ICANN, it would be easy to coordinate with the entire global Internet community. It was also of the view that ICANN would help to ensure that protocol parameters, IP numbers, and domain names were operated appropriately. LACTLD also supported the creation of the [[ccNSO]], an institution within ICANN, that would help identify the entire volume of ccTLDs in general and the issues related to it in particular.<ref>[http://www.dnso.org/constituency/cctld/LACTLD-on-ICANN-Reform.html dnso.org]</ref>
