ICTP 388: ICANN and its 2026—2030 strategy for Latin America and the Caribbean, with Rodrigo de la Parra

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a central pillar of the global internet governance ecosystem. In the latter half of 2025, consultations were held with the Latin American and Caribbean region on the strategic plan ICANN hopes to implement in the region for the period 2026 to 2030. Rodrigo de la Parra, ICANN's Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean and Managing Director of the LAC Regional Office, joins us to discuss, among other things: * ICANN's strategic plan for Latin America and the Caribbean and some of the considerations underpinning the proposed plan; * the differences in how Latin America and how the Caribbean region approach Internet Governance-related issues and engage with ICANN; * the recently held "ICANN Near You" event in Guyana; and * how someone interested in getting more involved with ICANN could do so.
