Election background
Past elections
NRS’s election records: how it fought for accountable registries at AFRINIC and APNIC.
The elections NRS fought
Two election records, each kept with its period: NRS’s position and member participation in the AFRINIC election, and its campaign for the APNIC Executive Council.
NRS’s position
“NRS and its members have the same objective and it supports and encourages all of its members to act towards the unlimited, free and accessible internet for all. Nonetheless NRS is also an independent non-profit organisation that acts independently. Whatsoever it decides, condones, acts and behaves towards a certain decision and/or actions are unrelated to its members as well as the candidates”
APNIC Executive Council
The APNIC Executive Council (EC) plays a vital role in guiding the policies and future direction of the Asia-Pacific internet community. At NRS, we believe in fostering strong leadership and representation that supports a fair and open internet ecosystem.
