APNIC participated in the ITU ACMA International Training Program 2014 from 23 to 25 July in Sydney, Australia.
The 2014 International Training Program (ITP) is the latest in a series of annual training events organized by the Regional Office of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in support of Asia Pacific telecommunications regulators. Attendees at the event were mostly drawn from governments. The ITU ACMA Regulators’ Roundtable, held from 21 to 22 July 2014, preceded the ITP 2014.

APNIC attended to share policy information around IPv4 exhaustion and the deployment of IPv6 addressing in the region with the event delegates.

- High-level goals of APNIC policy
- Policy measures put in place for IPv4 exhaustion
