Jia Rong Low’s introductory remarks at APNIC 58.

Jia Rong Low gave his inaugural introductory remarks as APNIC’s incoming Director General during the Opening Ceremony and Keynotes session at the APNIC 58 conference in Wellington, New Zealand.

Jia Rong is already well known in the APNIC community, but he introduced himself and his background (and the languages he speaks) before discussing the current state of the Internet. His remarks focused on current technical pressures like privacy, security, and emerging technologies, and governance concerns like policy processes, regulatory efforts, and the multistakeholder model. He also emphasized that the strength of the APNIC community is participation and engagement, calling for community feedback that will shape APNIC’s priorities into the future.
