FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida
                  (IDG) -- A group representing about
                  one million Internet users in Latin
                  America is angry that the region could
                  lack representation on the board of the
                  new organization that will manage
                  Internet domain names.

"The board should have a more diverse
                  representation. In the current proposal,
                  there is no representation from Latin
                  America or Africa. The board should have
                  at least one member from each region," said
                  Oscar Robles-Garay, director of InterNIC
                  in Mexico and head of the Latin America &
                  Caribbean Top Level Domain Association
                  (LACTLD), which is endorsing Enred's
                  letter.
