Policy SIG

I have been a sysadmin for an ISP in New Caledonia for more than twenty years.

Founder of the GULNC (Linux User Group), I’ve push the adoption of IPv6 for all users and now the ISP I work for is the only one providing IPv6 connectivity to its FTTH subscribers our country.

I’m not better than anyone, but because of the size and location of New Caledonia, my aim will always be towards what’s good for our community.

I have been chairing the Policy SIG since APNIC 52 (2021) and I fully understand the process, the stakes and how to gage consensus. With your support, I will be serving our community to the best I can for my last term.

Ching-Heng Ku is the Director of IP Department of TWNIC and has worked and researched in networking, IP Policies and Number Resources Services at TWNIC for several years. He is currently the Chair of IANA Numbering Services Review Committee member.

He had ever been the Policy SIG Co-Chair of APNIC, the Secretariat of Asia Pacific IPv6 Task Force, and ever holding the Asia Pacific IPv6 summit and Global IPv6 Summit in Taiwan. He also supports organise IPv6 Readiness Measurement BoF and IPv6 Deployment session in APNIC Conferences for many years.

Ching-Heng has actively participated in the APNIC meetings since the APNIC 18th in 2004. Also, he was the Chair of the NIR Hostmaster workshop and the Co-Chair of the DB SIG, NIR SIG, and Policy SIG in APNIC meetings.

He has balanced views on various issues discussed in the APNIC community. I believe his quality and experiences will contribute to Policy SIG in having him serve as the Co-Chair.

Drawing upon over 12 years of professional experience, I have worked in diverse sectors encompassing ISP, Banking and WiMAX Network. I have extensive hands-on experience in Core and Enterprise Routing and Switching, Security Technologies with all major vendors. At present, I am working as Cyber Security Architect in a leading Bangladeshi bank Prime Bank Limited. Prior to my current role, I have served as System security analyst at Information Security Department of Brac Bank LTD, Senior Core Network Engineer at Link3 Technology, a nationwide ISP in Bangladesh, and in a WiMAX company named Banglalion Communications Ltd.

Over the past few years, I have gained adequate experience in the fields of Internet Network configuration and Management, vast knowledge of Regional Internet Registry for number resources and Domain Name Registry Services. I believe a good balance of technical knowledge; Internet history & policy understanding is important for this role, and I would like to make contributions to this region and to APNIC conferences. I have read the Co-Chair responsibilities and I am confident to serve the community.
