Nominee statement
I have over 20 years of experience working in the telecommunications industry throughout Australia, including 12 years as the Technical Manager for the Internet Association of Australia, where I was instrumental in growing the organisation through the deployment of non-profit peering exchanges across Australia and New Zealand.
I would like to ensure that APNIC continues to provide leadership for the Internet community throughout the Asia Pacific, with a focus on the adoption rate of IPv6 and RPKI and the delivery of training and assistance to the community around both of these technologies. I am also keen to evaluate additional ways to promote efficient allocation and reuse of IPv4 space, an area that is rapidly emerging as a key roadblock to the growth of new and existing networks throughout the region.
As we have seen through some large scale routing incidents over the past couple of years, there is a requirement for registry data to be up to date and accurate. I am a believer that APNIC has a responsibility, to the internet community at large, to do their part in this regard as it's core function of a registry.
