LIM CHOON SAI

Mr Lim Choon Sai is a Director in the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) and is responsible for Internet Resource Management. He has been responsible in the past for several key areas in telecommunications which include spectrum planning and coordination; network numbering management; network standards and terminal equipment management.

Since 2001, Mr Lim has additionally been appointed the General Manager of the Singapore Network Information Centre (SGNIC) Pte. Ltd, the country-code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) manager for ".sg" names and a fully-owned subsidiary of IDA. Mr Lim is currently also a Board Director of DotAsia.

In early 2002, he led to implement a new shared registry system which enables participation of accredited registrars to sell ".sg" names on a competitive basis. The broad marketing and sale channels collectively help to increase the registry base which now stands at 115,000 names. From 2004 to 2008, he supervised the implementation of the following projects in SGNIC:

• Launched 2nd level ".sg" names and collaborated with registrars to jointly promote ".sg" names, which include a free 2nd level name for every 3rd level name registered.
• Migrated SGNIC servers to the Government Data Centre for a robust and secure environment for SGNIC servers.
• Collaborated with IDA in its three-year infocomm @SME programme to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to go online. SMEs can enjoy free annual registration of ".sg" names at the same time when they register their company names with the government authority.
• Launched Numeric Domain Names (NDNs) with a bidding scheme to allocate special NDNs which are made up of identical digits or of repetitive patterns.
• Launched Single Character Domain Names (SCDNs) under ".sg" with a bidding scheme to allocate such names for multiple applications. The launch is currently underway.

Mr Lim has a Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical/Electronic) Degree from the University of Singapore and an MBA from the Brunel University in the UK.

"I hope to be able to contribute to APTLD to continue playing a significant role to be the voices of ccTLDs in the Asia-Pacific and in the ICANN process. SGNIC is implementing Chinese and Tamil domain names and is able to share its views and feedback on how we will handle the running of these two key languages from a single registry perspective. I hope to share with fellow ccTLDs our experience in forging constructive relations with the government and regulator in jointly promoting ccTLD domain names. I also hope to share our experience with smaller ccTLDs on how to best use resources effectively to progressively build up a registry while maintaining the spirit and characteristics of an ccTLD."
