I think it is. Corporations pay tax to their governments. This money is allocated to goverment departments and agencies. LEAs have training budget that APNIC can tap into to provide such training. I do not agree for APNIC to use members fee for LEAs training.

Yes, it is a good thing and I agree with you. I do not accept to use members fee to provide these trainings. Members have to pay membership fee and pay a fee to attend APNIC trainings or workshops. These LEAs do not pay any fee. This is not fair for members.
It is also valuable to the
