Re: [apnic-talk] Question regarding Financial Reporting by NIR's
Hi Skeeve,
Thank you so much for leading discussion on many topics!
Just asking in my personal capacity.
| I think this is only fair, as NIR's enjoy a special status within APNIC,
| and it would be reasonable for the wider community to be able to understand
| and evaluate the financial position of the NIR's.
For clarification, could you please teach me what is 'special status'
of NIRs? My understanding is APNIC provides some services for NIRs,
but NIRs pay additional fees for that.
Please refer section 1.4 of:
https://www.apnic.net/publications/media-library/documents/membership/member-fee-schedule
Yours Sincerely,

| All,
|
| There has been a lot of calls for more transparency of APNIC, the work they
| undertake and their financial reporting.
|
| I'd like to take this a step further and request that all NIR's produce
| financial reports which are then made available to the wider APNIC
| community - except where that NIR is a government entity.
|
| We are hearing so many calls by people for transparent reporting, fee
| reductions, etc... that I think it only fair that APNIC and the community
| be able to appropriately consider the financial status of all applicable
| NIR entities.
|
| I think this is only fair, as NIR's enjoy a special status within APNIC,
| and it would be reasonable for the wider community to be able to understand
| and evaluate the financial position of the NIR's.
|
| If there are no such rules for this to occur, then I would seriously
| consider a policy proposal that compels NIR's to report to APNIC on their
| financial status and that information be available to members of APNIC.
|
| The NIR's are a member themselves of APNIC under special arrangement, and
| as a member of APNIC, I would like to understand more about these special
| arrangements and how much an NIR benefits (or not) from this special
| arrangement.
|
| Adam... is this request something that should be handled by the EC
| directly, or via the Policy SIG process?
