Dear Colleagues: The chat that happened recently raises important issues. It’s quite clear there are gaps in good governance for APNIC that urgently need resolving.
There are a number of ways this can be done. But in the first instance, it is absolutely essential that the existing APNIC board are given legal status in Australia and appointed as legally recognised directors of APNIC. As things stand, the APNIC EC have limited legal status in Australia and this needs to be amended. I have spoken to a to a specialist lawyer who has advised that there are some legal solutions available to APNIC to provide a level of legal guarantees for the organisation and recognise the status of the EC. These have always been open to APNIC and it is surprising they haven’t been adopted in the past 20 years. Im happy to speak with APNIC directly so they can consider it. This issue also raises some broader points about the need for a totally new governance structure for APNIC which I will raise elsewhere as this isn’t the appropriate place. But it is right that this issue has been highlighted and thank the community members for raising it. -- -- Kind regards. Lu Heng
