The independent study revealed that 93% of participants were satisfied with service and product quality, while 91% agreed the organization makes a positive contribution to regional Internet development. However, an average of 20% of respondents expressed uncertainty across governance measures, with that figure climbing to 35% in Oceania. To address member demands, future operational initiatives will focus heavily on hands-on technical training, operational tools, and deployment support for protocols like IPv6 and Resource Public Key Infrastructure.

The APNIC Executive Council (EC) commissions the APNIC Survey every two years to assess APNIC’s performance, understand the needs and priorities of Members and stakeholders, and inform strategic direction and future priorities.
The 2026 Survey was conducted independently by Survey Matters and drew 1,385 responses. The results are reported at a 95% confidence level with a margin of error of plus or minus 3%.
The results were presented at the APNIC Members Meeting at APNIC 62 and will inform APNIC’s 2028-2032 Strategic Plan. The EC thanks everyone who contributed.
This response first considers APNIC’s performance, then examines Members’ strategic priorities: Practical technical capability, APNIC’s role as a Regional Internet Registry (RIR), trusted research and expertise, regional accessibility, and policy and governance participation. It concludes with the implications for planning — balancing these priorities within available resources and considering future services that build on APNIC’s technical responsibilities and expertise.
APNIC’s performance
APNIC’s core performance measures remain strong and broadly consistent with previous surveys. The EC is pleased that respondent satisfaction remained high: 93% for the quality of APNIC services and products;…
As Singapore prepares for the upcoming northeast monsoon season, national water agency PUB is modernising its emergency response to safeguard low-lying areas vulnerable to flash floods. Despite decades of infrastructure work shrinking the nation's flood-prone zones to under 25 hectares, localised inundations remain an operational challenge. The new technology adoption aims to enhance worker safety while speeding up drainage efforts during extreme weather events.
The amphibious machine enables Singapore's national water agency to clear submerged basements, underground carparks, and tunnels without placing human personnel in dangerous conditions. By doubling the pumping capacity of existing portable units and deploying across difficult terrain within minutes, the unit accelerates crisis response times. This strategic upgrade helps safeguard critical urban infrastructure as seasonal storms increasingly overwhelm traditional drainage networks.
Aiming to introduce modern open-source software to commercial arcade manufacturers, a developer is preparing to showcase the new platform to industry vendors at the 2026 IAAPA Expo. The initiative seeks to gauge commercial appetite for Linux-based simulation technology while providing a versatile foundation for custom digital tables. Continued development will bridge the gap between simulation mechanics and physical arcade experiences.
