[LACNIC/Politicas] LAC-2023-6 revision

[Fernando Frediani]

Hello Robert

I personally don't like the text in that way as it leaves room for other 
possibilities when it mentions on "eg". As I mentioned on my previous 
message in order to avoid multiple interpretation it is better it to be 
specific and thinking in a more practical scenario there are no much 
other possibilities that should be allowed under these exceptions (like 
gTLDs, specially those known as sTLDs), ccTLDs in the region are fine, 
out of the region I don't think is necessary. IXPs don't change anything 
from what is already, so why allow an IXP operating our of the region to 
request which leave us with the main propose of this proposal which are 
Root DNS Servers.

Therefore name the only exception specifically: "/Se podrán otorgar 
excepciones a organizaciones fuera de la región que sean servidores raíz 
DNS como proveedores de infraestructura de Internet crítica global./"

Regarding Option 2 I think one detail that is lacking is to mention that 
even in a Anycast scenario services must be provided also in the region.

I think I got lost on the rest of your email and options, but so far 
Option 1 seems the simplest with the comments about if I didn't miss 
anything important.

Best regards
Fernando Frediani
