How NRS fought the 2024 APNIC election: its candidate profiles, governance commitments and voting guide.
NRS Endorsed Candidates
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.

Current Challenges at APNIC
Over time, APNIC has drifted from its core mission of serving the Asia Pacific community, with concerns about centralized control and lack of transparency. The organization appears dominated by a single individual, raising questions about accountability and fairness.
The Number Resource Society (NRS) aims to restore trust, transparency, and true community representation by endorsing fresh leadership and advocating for critical reforms.
Our Candidates Pledge to:
- Cut membership fees by 30%
- Restore community-led governance
- Be a strong voice for businesses
- Restructure APNIC operations
- Hold leadership accountable
- Promote a free and fair resource market
- Reincorporate in Singapore & go carbon neutral by 2030
How to Vote in the next APNIC EC Election?
Please screenshot this voting receipt in in full and send to apnic@nrs.help for accurate record keeping and prevent election fraud, thank you very much!
Example 1 of 7: open the Voting menu in MyAPNIC. The APRICOT 2023 and APNIC 55 labels date this screen to 2023.
Example 2 of 7: the old interface offered two choices, Vote to vote yourself and Appoint a proxy to name someone to vote for you. That election is over.
Example 3 of 7: voting opened on 16 February 2023 and BigPulse opened in a pop-up window. Appointing a proxy for that election meant the member could no longer vote in it directly.
Example 4 of 7: the screen is titled APNIC Executive Council Election 2022 and shows a ballot for up to four candidates with a Submit Vote button.
Example 5 of 7: a review screen notes that the vote has not been sent yet and lets the voter go back to change it. This page shows the step; you cannot vote here.
Example 6 of 7: the old interface confirms the vote was sent and asks the voter to keep the receipt, noting that BigPulse/APNIC cannot reproduce it. This is the message the screen showed at the time.
Example 7 of 7: references to the 2022 election and APNIC 55 appear again. The account and receipt fields are masked in black. The receipt itself warns that sharing it may compromise anonymity; beside it is NRS’s earlier request for a full screenshot. That collection is closed: do not send receipts this way or try to recover the masked data.
