*APIGA 2020 Cancelled Due to COVID-19

16 June 2020

SINGAPORE – 16 June 2020 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN) and the Korea Internet and Security Agency (KISA) today
announced that the fifth edition of the Asia Pacific Internet Governance
Academy (APIGA) will not be held in 2020.

The joint decision to cancel this year's APIGA was made due to the ongoing
COVID-19 global pandemic. The primary concern for ICANN and KISA is the
health and safety of the Asia Pacific (APAC) community and that of their
staff.

ICANN and KISA will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely, and
hope to resume APIGA next year.

APIGA is an annual five-day capacity-development program for APAC youth
leaders interested in Internet governance issues and its related
activities. It is co-hosted by ICANN and KISA, with support from regional
partners such as the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC),
DotAsia, and the Internet Society (ISOC) Asia Pacific Bureau.

About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global
Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an
address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That
address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN
helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world.
ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation
with a community of participants from all over the world.
