Hi AUSNOG Community,

To complement and supplement the global IGF (Internet Governance
Forum), a group of active participants, with the OGCIO (Office of the
Government Chief Information Officer) as the advisor, have come
together to organize the first Asia Pacific Regional IGF in Hong Kong.
The event will consist of 3 parts:

      - Youth IGF Camp
        June 12-14, Jockey Club Sai Kung Outdoor Training Camp

      - Asia Pacific Regional IGF Roundtable
        June 15-16, Cyberport

        Language: English (with real-time English transcription)

      - Hong Kong IGF Conference
        June 17-18, Cyberport

        Language: English (with real-time English transcription)
        Cantonese and Mandarin interpretation also available


All 3 component events combine to become a platform for regional
collaboration and, even though organized independently of the global
IGF, intends to report its discussion to the global IGF in Vilnius,
Lithuania, September 14-17. This adds to the significance of the APrIGF
in that the ideas, recommendations, and other outputs from the event
will be used as inputs for the coming global IGF meeting in September.
