Editor's Notes
- #6 This presentation is structured around APNIC’s three core areas of activity In the top corner of each slide you see an icon to denote which area the activity falls under
- #7 APNIC’s Membership continued to grow strongly in 2016 – up 14% NIR sub account growth was even stronger – up 28%. The combined total at the end of 2016 was 12,624 Members ---- The total direct membership figure for 2015 was 5,268. Total direct membership for 2016 was 5,994, growth of 14%. Quarterly growth for 2016 was stable with around 250 new Members. There were 6,630 NIR members at the end of 2016.
- #8 Training continues to be in high demand across the region In 2016 we visited 25 locations to deliver 62 face to face courses APNIC was helped in this endeavour by nine community trainers If you’ve not heard of this initiative, it is something APNIC started last year, and nine recognised technical experts in the region volunteered to help support APNIC’s training by extending its reach APNIC hopes to expand the number of community trainers in 2017, so if you’re interested in finding out more, get in touch with Nurul, APNIC’s training manager who can tell you more
- #9 Supporting NOGs is a great way to reach technical communities, and we have sent technical speakers, systems support, and sponsorship to NOGs to help them to do their work. We were also excited last year to support the development of Timor-Leste’s IXP, with technical assistance and a workshop There were not a lot of root server deployments in 2016, in 2017 there will be significantly more ----- Participation at AusNOG, bdNOG, BTNOG, HKNOG, IDNOG, two NPNOG events, PacNOG, PHNOG, two SANOG events, TWNOG, and VNNOG. Includes 4 ARMS as part of the program for BKNIX, SANOG 27 and 28, and PACNOG 19. APNIC sponsors NOGs and IXPs in the region to help build technical and human capacity. The MS team complemented this outreach with informational sessions and updates at 18 events in the region.
- #12 APNIC was extremely active in the security field in 2016. We know this is very important to Members, and that was confirmed in the APNIC Survey The knowledge and contacts developed by APNIC’s participation in the security community were brought back to share within the APNIC community – a great example is the hosting of FIRST TC meetings at APNIC conferences but also SANOG and a FIRST-supported training session at PACNOG 19 APNIC is proud to have played a role in helping Tonga establish CERT.to, and this has sparked interest from other Pacific Island states on developing their own security response capabilities To continue to boost APNIC’s security efforts, a second security specialist will be recruited this year
- #13 The APNIC Foundation was officially incorporated in 2016 and is now up and running The aim of the Foundation is to secure alternative sources of funding to help support APNIC’s development activities such as training, technical assistance, fellowships, ISIF grants and more While the Foundation was being created last year, project funding was secured from several partners to help support development activities. It is expected the Foundation will help attract more of this type of funding in 2017 and beyond
