Working proactively in the world’s fastest growing region, the organizations at the Asia Pacific Internet Community stand represent the specific needs and views of local stakeholders to encourage Internet growth.
Whether a user types a domain name into their browser, an email address into their mail client, or dials a phone number on their Voice over IP (VoIP)system, the Internet relies entirely on a system of numbers called IP addresses to determine which target computer should receive the data.
The fundamental operation of the Internet and the indispensable services it provides, such as Internet telephony, the World Wide Web, and email, relies on the combined efforts of a number of key organizations. These organizations work collaboratively with the thousands of stakeholders who use and rely on the Internet’s secure, robust, and scalable infrastructure.
