Who are we and what do we do?

As the Regional Internet Registry for Asia Pacific, we work for the good of the Internet and the 4.5 billion people who use it across the region. We're a Not-For-Profit and are responsible for overseeing the distribution of IP addresses – and providing wider Internet addressing services - to governments, organisations and individuals. We also provide support to our membership of more than 8,000 across 56 economies. 

Why is this so important?

The people who created the Internet decided right from the start that it should be a public resource and that it needs to be managed and shared in a fair way. We help make that happen. By managing fair access to IP addresses, and delivering support and guidance to those who are using them, we enable and promote an open and equal Internet in the Asia Pacific and beyond.

The Opportunity 

In addition to the distribution of IP addresses APNIC assists the development and growth of the Internet in the Asia Pacific region through Internet development activities, including training.

Our training workshops develop the knowledge and capabilities of Internet network operators and other interested parties by helping them understand and effectively manage Internet resources, as well as apply appropriate technologies and techniques. They are facilitated via in person events across the Asia Pacific and also online.

We are continuing to expanding these activities in 2021 and this role will work alongside our current co-ordinators to plan, administer, and co-ordinate the training program and related activities.

In the role you can expect to:

• Manage and co-ordinate the activities related to our Asia Pacific wide Community Trainers;
• Organise and co-ordinate the training and other Internet development activities of APNIC’s Infrastructure & Development area;
• Handle the administrative and logistical arrangements for APNIC’s public training workshops and related activities (in person and online);
• Respond to any other relevant training and other Internet develoment needs of the Asia Pacific Internet community at large; and
• Support the administration and co-ordination – as needed - of other programs and activities under Infrastructure & Development area
