APrIGF

Multi-stakeholder Steering Group

The Multi-Stakeholder Steering Group (MSG) of APrIGF is a self-organised committee with members from around the AP Internet Community formed with the below objectives:

    • To support and ensure the proper conduct of the organizational work of the annual Asia Pacific Regional IGF,
    • To promote and encourage dialogue among all stakeholders involved with Internet governance related issues in the Asia Pacific region, and
    • To act as an interface between the Asia Pacific IGF community and the global IGF community.

The membership emphasizes the inclusion of multi-stakeholders and so is open to any interested individuals within the AP region who are committed to:

    • The Organisational Principles of openness, transparency and multi-stakeholder cooperation,
    • Devote some time and effort in support of the APrIGF, and
    • Maintaining and demonstrating respect for all other members.

Any interested individuals who would like to join the MSG must read through the Operating Principles of the MSG as well as acknowledging and accepting it. If you wish to become part of the MSG, please kindly contact the secretariat at sec@aprigf.asia.

The Operating Principles can be downloaded here.

We welcome any comments and feedback on the Operating Principles from the community whereby amendments could be made under the discussion and decision from the MSG from time to time whenever necessary.
