APNIC is working for you in 2009
In our fifteenth year of operation, and our tenth in Australia, we at APNIC feel strongly driven to continue to provide excellent value to our members.
In our fifteenth year of operation, and our tenth in Australia, we at APNIC feel strongly driven to continue to provide excellent value to our members.
2008 was a landmark year for APNIC, with the establishment of Resource Certification and the introduction of a dedicated IPv6 project.
For a comprehensive update of APNIC's recent activities, see the 2008 APNIC Annual Report.
APNIC recently carried out its 2009 Member and Stakeholder survey, the results of which we have carefully assessed in order to refine our focus such that it closely matches your feedback.
The key findings were that APNIC should:
- Continue to expand its training activities in scope, geographical coverage, and online options, including making IPv6 information more readily available to those that currently cannot access such information easily
- Analyse the operational and business impediments to IPv6 deployment and support the community to take the important initial steps to integrate IPv6 into their future business planning
- Continue to invest in research and development activities that provide members with a credible and independent source of reporting that allows them to make judgments about their organization's future planning
Moving forward in 2009, APNIC will work closely with local organizations to help develop the Internet, including significant training activities throughout the region.
In addition, APNIC will soon launch its completely redesigned and improved www.apnic.net website, bringing easy access to APNIC's valuable tools and information resources.
We are also expanding and improving our ICONS website to include more valuable information on the latest best practice in all areas of network management.
The APNIC Technical team will be focused on implementing a collaborative project with RIPE NCC on Test Traffic Measurement (TTM). APNIC test boxes will be will be sent to locations throughout the region to provide an improved level of reporting regarding the Internet connectivity of the Asia Pacific for our members and stakeholders, as well as improved local timekeeping services.
The APNIC Services team launched at the start of 2009 an improved and easier to use version of MyAPNIC, APNIC's online Internet resources management tool. The APNIC Services team will also work closely with our Technical and Policy units to implement the necessary procedures for the recently discussed resource transfer policy.
APNIC remains committed to representing the community's interests on global Internet governance and technical forums, such as the IETF and IGF, as well as providing a forum for members and stakeholders to share their knowledge and experience and discuss the pertinent issues facing the networking world at our twice-yearly APNIC Meetings.
