the last six months, APNIC has strengthened its links with different organizations and has participated in a number of important meetings.  This summary of activities will talk about the different fora where APNIC has participated and the approach taken. There are three approaches that we have used.  The ones that are on the slides, the first one is representation, where APNIC staff has attended a meeting.  The second approach, the one that has characterized most of the activities, is collaboration. APNIC has increased its levels of collaboration, for example, with Internet Governance Forum, the IGF process, supporting two regional meetings, the Pacific one in New Caledonia where APNIC provided logistical support and the website for the meeting and another IGF in the region, the Asia one in Singapore. APNIC has continued its collaboration with the APEC TEL, the telecommunications working group, and with the Asia Pacific Telecommunity as well.  An important step in collaboration has been the content that APNIC developed for ITU meetings globally and regionally, specifically on the subject of IPv6. These activities with ITU are positively leaning towards a stronger partnership in the area of capacity building and IPv6, with particular emphasis in developing economies. In the spirit of collaboration, a three-week training program was designed and delivered to four technical professionals from NIXI.  This program shared with them comprehensively all APNIC operations, processes and procedures. The training program provided a view of how an RIR works in support for NIXI to develop technical and operational readiness
