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)
“As long as fathers rule but do not nurture, as long as mothers nurture but do not rule, the conditions favoring the development of father-daughter incest will prevail.”
—Judith Lewis Herman (b. 1942)
“Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of opinions exists, there may be moods—moods of the masses and moods of individuals, the latter no less fickle and unreliable than the former—but no opinion.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
