Special Interest Groups
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are formed with a focus on a particular subject area. SIGs provide an open public forum to discuss topics of interest to APNIC and the Internet community in the Asia Pacific region. Face-to-face SIG meetings are held at APNIC Meetings, which are held twice per year. SIGs are chaired by members of the community with relevant knowledge and expertise.

Birds of a Feather (BOF)Birds of a Feather (BOF) meetings are convened to informally exchanging information and discuss new ideas or particular issues. They can be proposed and convened at short notice and there is no formal requirement for submission of papers or posting to mailing lists. However, the results of BOFs are reported to the Member Meeting session of each APNIC Meeting. |
APNIC Conferences
It is a very interesting time for the Internet, with new approaches being proposed to manage IPv4 address exhaustion, encourage IPv6 adoption, or just make things more efficient for everyone. The community decides how Internet resources are managed. As a member of the community, you can propose changes to APNIC's policies to ensure they suit the community's needs.
Join us at the next APNIC conference.
