The Chief
Operating Officer, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN),
Susanna Wong Bennett, has said that expanding Asia Pacific (APAC) Hub is key to
Ithe organisation's strategic focus and commitment to globalization, ITRealms reports
She stressed that this development
would position ICANN for long-term stability as it continues the work of
maintaining a secure, stable and interoperable Internet and cements the vision
of having three global hubs to serve the global community.
ITRealms
gathered that ICANN announced recently that it has moved its APAC hub to a new
office, located in the South Beach Tower in the Esplanade area. The move is in
line with ICANN's expanded presence in the APAC region.
The Vice President and Managing Director,
ICANN, Asia Pacific, Kuek Yu-Chuang, said, "We knew from the start that
the APAC Hub had to play catch-up with the fast-evolving Internet user
demographic in the region. To address the needs of the region, we quintupled
our staff headcount over the past two years so that we are now able to provide
a wide range of services."
The ICANN APAC Hub was established in
Singapore in August 2013 to better serve the stakeholders in this region and
recently celebrated its second anniversary, ITRealms learnt
ICANN currently has a 30-strong
staff team in the region, providing services such as registry and registrar
support, stakeholder engagement, contractual compliance, security capacity
building, communications and customer service, as well as support functions
such as operations, IT, legal, finance and human resources.
