Experience and involvement in APNIC activities

I’ve attended every APRICOT and APNIC meetings since APNIC 31 (2011), I've contributed to make APNIC 46 a reality in New Caledonia and I've been involved in Policy since late 2011, I'm a trusted contact for APNIC since APNIC 56.

Nominee statement

I have been a sysadmin for an ISP in New Caledonia for more than twenty years.

Founder of the GULNC (Linux User Group), I've push the adoption of IPv6 for all users and now the ISP I work for is the only one providing IPv6 connectivity to its FTTH subscribers our country.

I’m not better than anyone, but because of the size and location of New Caledonia, my aim will always be towards what’s good for our community.

I have been chairing the Policy SIG since APNIC 52 (2021) and I fully understand the process, the stakes and how to gage consensus. With your support, I will be serving our community the best I can.
