APNIC EC election and by-laws resolutions voting

The 2026 APNIC EC election and voting to amend the APNIC By-laws will also take place as part of the AGM.

Voting will open for both the APNIC EC election and the APNIC By-law reforms on 29 January 2026 and close on 12 February 2026 at 14.30 (UTC +7). Members will be able to vote in the EC election and on the proposed resolutions to amend the APNIC By-laws by casting their vote directly through MyAPNIC. No in-person voting will be permitted.

Online voting will be available to eligible Members' contacts (Corporate Contacts or authorized contacts with voting rights given by the Corporate Contact) at any time, 24/7 during the online voting period.

By-laws voting

Members of APNIC are asked to consider and vote on two proposed resolutions to amend the APNIC By-laws during the voting period. For these resolutions to successfully pass, they will require an affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast pursuant to by-law 83.

Members can still discuss the proposed resolutions via the APNIC-talk mailing list. For a summary of prior consultation feedback, please see the proposed APNIC By-law reform webpage.

See the by-laws voting FAQ for more information on voting on the proposed by-laws resolutions.

Information session

The APNIC Secretariat will hold an information session on Tuesday, 27 January at 14:00 (UTC +10) to share information on the proposed resolutions to amend the by-laws.

EC election voting

Likewise, the EC election will also be held at the AGM for three positions on the APNIC EC.

The final list of nominees in the EC election will be published on the conference website before the opening of voting on 29 January 2026.

The role of the EC is to ensure the efficient management of the activities, functions, and affairs of APNIC on behalf of Members. This includes defining the strategic direction of APNIC and approving APNIC's budget. The EC is required to act in good faith and in the best interests of APNIC and the membership.

The EC Members are also appointed as the company directors of APNIC Pty Ltd as well as the members and company directors of APNIC EC Limited, which holds the sole share in APNIC Pty Ltd on trust.
