Hi Andy, There is no specific cost centre of "Internet governance activities" in APNIC. However, Paul provided a list of the activities which may be related to Internet governance - I have listed those below this message.
The budget for the Secretariat is developed in consultation with the APNIC EC each year, and approved by the EC before being presented to members. The EC are regularly updated throughout the year on the current budget status, including expenditure and income, to ensure they are fully informed. The EC Treasurer's report from APRICOT 2014 includes our 2013 statement of income and expenses, including travel, as well as the 2014 budget. It is available here for reference: https://conference.apnic.net/data/37/37treasurer_report-revised_1393550792. pdf Kind regards Tony From Paul's earlier message: - Contribution to meetings and forums (apart from APNIC meetings) in which IP addressing and related matters (e.g. Internet policy processes) are being discussed; - Contribution as technical experts to forums such as OECD, APECTEL, APT, and ASEAN; - Collaboration with other RIRs where needed, to ensure that global IP addressing environment is properly understood and represented; - Outreach to Governments and governmental organisations, to ensure that we understand each others' work and needs; - Collaborative training activities outside of the traditional APNIC audience - e.g. to the Justice Sector, and other Governmental organisations – in use of APNIC services; - Collaboration with other counterparts in the technical community (e.g. I* organisatioons), to ensure mutual support for our organisations, and to develop joint positions (such as the Montevideo Statement); - Collaboration with others in the AP community - e.g. APCERT, APIX, APTLD, APIA, APAN and NOGs – to support our shared goals of a stable, secure and growing Internet; - Membership and participation with various organisations - e.g. APT and ITU-D as appropriate to help disseminate relevant information; - Active and deliberate support for the IGF as the best place for Internet governance discussions (and related activities, e.g. NETmundial); - Support for the regional IGF (APrIGF) to ensure that regional voices (especially our Members', and AP Governments) are included.

At the AMM there was an indication that it would be possible to get information about the cost of IG - travel, staff time and the opportunity cost of having senior staff focussed on these activities possibly at the expense of other operational questions. It would be good to see that information. I think it would also be really interesting to see information on what the other RIRs spend on these activities. Does APNIC spend a lot less than the other RIRs, about the same or a lot more? _______________________________________________ apnic-talk mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.apnic.net/mailman/listinfo/apnic-talk
