create tools that take into consideration the international progress of the UN GGE, or of other fora, adjusting them to the needs and interests of the region. In Latin America, the Digital Agenda for Latin America and the Caribbean (eLAC) has five implementation pillars.15 The “Governance for the Information Society” pillar highlights “Objective 19: Promotion of security, privacy, data protection and trust in the use of the Internet” and “Objective 20: Preventing and addressing cybercrime through cybersecurity strategies and policies. Coordinate among response teams at the local and regional level during events.” Within the framework of the Pacific Alliance, the Digital Agenda was approved in December 2016 with the following precept: “Enhance cooperation in digital security and confidence-building in the use of ICTs”.16 This agenda has a road map featuring four tracks: 1. Digital Economy; 2. Digital Connectivity; 3. Digital Government, and; 4. Digital Ecosystem, which seek to improve the competitiveness of the countries that comprise it through ICTs and the promotion of the digital economy. As for the World Economic Forum (WEF), it defines resilience and cybersecurity as key conditions for technological and economic development. In 2016, the Council of the Global Cybersecurity Agenda published its white paper detailing the obstacles in the public and private sectors, which hinder collaboration and the adoption of best practices in cybersecurity.17 In addition, its Global Risks Report 2017 identified the massive data theft and cyber-attacks in the risk scenario for that year, also pointing out the challenge of emerging technologies in terms of governance.18 In the case of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organization has support entities and advisory committees with working groups on different topics, including cybersecurity. National authorities participate through the Governmental Advisory Committee; and work related to security issues in the management of single Internet identifiers is carried out through the Public Safety Working Group19 of the aforementioned committee. In terms of Internet governance, cybersecurity is also discussed. In addition to the work of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), national and regional efforts are undertaken by the multi-stakeholder community.
