8. Proposed Draft 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 other organizations or
communities.
• The SIG should focus on information sharing, outreach,
capacity building, and other activities which advance
APNIC’s vision for a global, open, stable, and secure
Internet.
