Networking, Collaborating, and Learning Drive APAC DNS Forum 2024

19 August 2024By Jia-Rong Low


We’ve successfully concluded the third Asia Pacific (APAC) Domain Name System (DNS) Forum, held in Bali, Indonesia, from 23–24 July 2024. At the outset of the event, I challenged the participants to achieve three goals: meet someone new, learn something new, and discover a new opportunity.

Through an informal poll at the end of the forum, nearly all attendees achieved the first and second goals, while a sizeable number achieved the third (we’ll work on improving this next year).

When we launched the APAC DNS Forum, we wanted it to serve as a regular platform where our regional community could network and collaborate. At this year’s Forum, we achieved this via our main event and four side events that added extra value for our participants:

  • APAC Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) representatives held a workshop to discuss current ICANN issues.
  • A Train-the-Trainer event organized for Indonesian technical trainers to enable them to provide DNS and DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) training to strengthen the DNS infrastructure in Indonesia.
  • The Indonesian community gathered to develop Second-Level Reference Label Generation Rules for domain names in Balinese, Javanese, Pegon, and Sundanese scripts.
  • International Trademark Association (INTA) hosted a discussion on the growing importance of an online presence for the intellectual property community and brand owners.

We invite additional partners to join us in further strengthening the APAC DNS Forum as a vital networking platform for our industry.
