This hybrid session brought together 66 attendees onsite and 45 online. The highlights of the hour-long session were : i) a readout of the APAC Regional Plan including FY24 Achievements and FY25 Highlights, and ii) a discussion on World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+20 Review. These agenda items were followed by an open community discussion facilitated by Boyoung Kim from the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA). In the end, onsite participants took time to network.
The session began with Yien Chyn Tan (ICANN org) introducing the APAC Space agenda. Samiran Gupta (ICANN org) welcomed those who joined and provided an introduction to APAC Space, given that we had a fair number of new attendees in the audience including ICANN81 fellows and NextGen attendees. As the first agenda item, outgoing ICANN board member Edmon Chung delivered a farewell address, followed by incoming ICANN board member Amitabh Singhal introducing himself to the regional community members and sharing his priorities for the next three years as a board member.
Samiran provided a readout of the achievements of the regional plan for FY24. The FY2024 APAC Regional Report covers the period July 2023-July 2024, detailing out engagement activities related to ICANN's strategic initiatives. The report is available here.
