Cooperation SIG

SIG Charter

The Cooperation SIG is a forum for discussion about broader Internet issues like Public Policy and Internet Governance, which are related to APNIC community interests, but which involve governments, other organizations, and other communities.
The Secretariat will report to the SIG about APNIC’s outreach activities and seek advice and guidance on future activities.
The SIG will act as a forum to develop and clarify the APNIC community’s position on issues of relevance to the public sector, or on matters for which a community position has been sought.
The SIG should focus on information sharing, outreach, capacity building, and other activities that will advance APNIC’s vision for a global, open, stable, and secure Internet.

About the Co-Chair

Name	Alban Kwan
Tenure	APNIC 62 – APNIC 66
Biography	For close to eighteen years, my work has sat at the intersection of different parts of the Internet community — from ICANN, telcos, and hosting providers to, more recently, co-chairing AP*, where I help plan its bi-annual meeting and bring Asia Pacific Internet organisations to the same table to work through issues no single organisation can resolve alone. I hold similar roles with APrIGF and auIGF, and I have spent that same time mentoring newcomers through APIGA — work that has taught me that cooperation is less about reaching agreement and more about making sure the right people are actually talking to each other. The Cooperation SIG sits at exactly this intersection for APNIC. As Co-Chair, I would want to make sure APNIC hears from — and is genuinely part of — more of the organisations shaping the region’s Internet, rather than encountering their work after the fact.
