Community Consultation
----------------------

In collaboration with the NRO, APNIC hosted a Community Consultation at
APNIC 29 to give the technical community, amongst other stakeholders, an
opportunity to discuss the issues and ramifications of the ITU's
possible entry into the IP address management arena.

Outcomes of this Community Consultation, including video, audio, and
