APNIC Community Request for ICANN to Sign DNS Root
The APNIC community considered ICANN's initiatives toward
operational readiness for DNSSEC signing and informed ICANN that
the Asia Pacific community supports efforts to sign the root of
the DNS and called on ICANN to resolve these issues and to sign
the root of the DNS as soon as is realistically possible.
MoU (Memorandum of Understanding)
APNIC signed two MoUs (Memorandum of Understanding). One with
AusNOG, the other with NZNOG. These MoUs strengthened the
relationship between the three organizations as they agreed to
collectively work together, share information, and facilitate
the development of the Internet in Australia and New Zealand.
