Happy Ramadan!      Card

This is how APTLD members strengthen the bonds: congrats to .TV and GoDaddy Registry on a new strategic partnership!      Original Post with Video and photo

Bidding farewell to Brent Carey, we are happy to welcome a new Board Director and congratulate a newly elected Board Vice Chair and Secretary! The extraordinary board meeting today was really a busy one! Check out: https://aptld.org/about/newsroom/18220/. Oh, and the Board now is dominated by female Directors!

MYNIC Berhad is shouting out- hope you have not forgotten to register!      Original Post on the first regional APAC DNS Forum

We are losing him! Wait, not quite!
We are about to bid farewell to Brent Carey, our Board Vice Chair whose term as the Domain Name Commissioner is coming to an end on 29 April. However, he does not walk far as on 3 May. He will continue his journey as CEO for Netsafe New Zealand.
Thank you, Brent, for your service to the community and fair winds and following seas!
Only promise when the APTLD Members revisit New Zealand next time, you will be round to open our Meeting. Deal?
