The three LACTLD Working Groups will have new coordinators. In the Commercial one, Joaquín Alberto Cisternas Araya (.CL) will take on this role. Esteban Maldonado (.GT) will be in charge of the Technical one. Finally, Eduardo Tomé (.HN) will coordinate the Policy and Legal Working Group.
LACTLD Working Groups were created in 2016 as discussion and exchange platforms that allow channeling the interests and experiences of the ccTLDs in the region around specific topics (technical, commercial, legal and policy). Each is coordinated by two ccTLD representatives, who are elected by their peers.
In the Policy and Legal Working Group, Eduardo Tomé (.HN) will return to this role after filling the position that became vacant at the end of 2025. He will share this role with Javier Demayo (.AR). This group is a space for the exchange of experiences and the discussion of issues related to procedures, policy development processes, dispute resolution, and regulatory frameworks.
The Commercial Working Group is a space for those dealing with issues related to sales, customer service, marketing, communication, advertising and media relations. It is currently coordinated by Susana Chaves Araya (.CR), who will be joined by the recently elected, Joaquín Alberto Cisternas Araya (.CL). The latter will replace Paulo Marcos Gampel Drewiacki (.BR), who has held the position of co-coordinator since 2024.
The Technical Working Group is the platform for the exchange of experiences and collaboration among those responsible for the technical management of the ccTLDs. Esteban Maldonado (.GT), who will be taking on this role for the first time, will replace Arlette Pedreros (.CL). Together with Jan Melgar Alvarado (.HN) they will be in charge of coordinating this space.
LACTLD thanks those who finished their term and congratulates and wishes many successes to the new coordinators in their management.
