Dear Juan, In my oppinion (and this probably should be checked with a lawyer) an authorized officer is the Chief Executive of the Institution that owns the data or the person in charge of protecting the copyright of it.
The Dirección de Vialidad data copyright was easier to evaluate since it include an attribution clause (for public and private use) in its info file. Also an officer from that institution give us the same information. In the Gobierno Regional Metropolitano de Santiago case we received a response letter from the Intendente that told us to talk with person in charge of the GIS Data, after that they released the data.
