I believe the LAC Strategic Plan should take into account the significant
impact of COVID-19 on the way people conduct their business and personal
affairs. The Internet has become an essential and predominant resource
during these challenging times. For the last few years, the adoption of
domain names has shown limited growth as social networks such as Instagram
and Facebook have gained popularity as a means to securing identity in the
Internet. Now, small businesses around the world have been forced to convert
their business activities to online and e-commerce operations in order to
service customers who are in diverse situations of lockdown. Perhaps it is a
good time to consider some strategies that can help people to adapt to this
digital transformation which has been forecasted for several years and now,
due to this pandemic, has become an urgent necessity.  Domain names
constitute the most professional way to have a digital identity, and people,
in general, may need to be reminded of this option and how they can access a
domain name and benefit from adopting one. It would seem an opportunity for
the LAC Strategy Group to contribute in helping Latin American communities
to address their online needs.
