Our community's decision making process is supposed to be bottom up and consensus driven. This model looks much more like top down and "we'll decide what's best and let you know".This is a gap which I'm pointing out.
And other critical tasks that APNIC should be driving like IPv6 adoption languish. Perhaps the many hundreds of thousands of dollars APNIC spends on IG should be focussed on engaging with major industries at the CEO level explaining the business risks of not having a future proof addressing strategy. We may do that - I'd like to see the reports.It is another example which APNIC needs to tackle as daily task.And, can I ask your additional thought about your comment?
1. In current approach, it is NOT clear that Internet Governance has relevance to our daily businesses and operations in the Internet.As a result, current approach is making a gap inside APRICOT and/or APNIC community though its intension is involving moreparticipants to Internet Governance activity.I partially agree with your above comment regarding the relevance of IG with daily businesses and operations. With my little experience I do understand your view point because the country you are based in Internet is governed through certain rules rules, norms and standards developed through consultation and well drafted framework. But in our part of the region, the picture is quite different, I hope you understand that difference. We are going through consultation phase to define those rules and standards to govern the internet.I basically agree that the situation is different in each country.However, do you think current APNIC's IG activity is reflecting your situation enough?
