Smaller focus group discussions were held to determine these issues and then questions posed in the survey. These discussions were held in March and April 2012 in a cross-section of Asia Pacific cities to give small groups the opportunity to consider and put forward their suggestions. The groups met in the following locations: Australia (Sydney), Bangladesh (Dhaka), Cambodia (Phnom Penh), China (Beijing and Guangzhou), Hong Kong SAR, India (Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata), Japan (Tokyo), Nepal (Kathmandu), the Philippines (Manila), Singapore, South Korea (Seoul), and Vietnam (Hanoi). These economies were selected based on the customer base and geography. All who participated in the discussions were assured at each of the discussion meetings of the confidentiality of their comments by the consultants.

Responsible management of these resources is vital for the stable and reliable operation of the Internet. In 1993, APNIC made its first IPv4 address allocation. Six years later, APNIC began distributing IPv6 addresses to Asia Pacific networks and actively supporting IPv6 deployment efforts in the region. The IPv4 Internet will be at full capacity within a few years The APNIC community is a true multi-stakeholder environment, experienced in the use of bottom-up self-regulatory processes to achieve best practice outcomes for Internet addressing. Through its open policy development processes, the community is responding to IPv4 depletion and the slow deployment of IPv6, and is working to address these issues over the coming years.
