Policy Development Process
APNIC's policies are developed by the membership and broader Internet community. The major media for policy development are the face-to-face Open Policy Meetings, which are held twice each year, and mailing list discussions.
APNIC's policy development process is:
- Open
- Anyone can propose policies.
- Everyone can discuss policy proposals.
- Transparent
- APNIC publicly documents all policy discussions and decisions.
- Bottom-up
- The community drives policy development.
APNIC documents all policy discussions and decisions to provide complete transparency of the policy development process.

—George Marshall (1880–1959)
“Sleep hath its own world,
And a wide realm of wild reality.
And dreams in their development have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The process of discovery is very simple. An unwearied and systematic application of known laws to nature causes the unknown to reveal themselves.”
