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.
