About
On the occasion APRICOT 2026 & APNIC 61 happening in Jakarta, Indonesia, The IO Foundation organizes a training session on the topic of Network Operator Groups (NOGs) and to explore the latest operational technologies and best practices presented during the summit.
This Training Bytes session will focus on practical approaches and implementation strategies for enhancing user safety and privacy directly within network operations and infrastructure.
Participants will:
Understand the DCDR advocacy: Participants will learn how The IO Foundation advances Data-Centric Digital Rights by embedding protections directly into technical standards. They will explore practical strategies to influence global and regional governance bodies so that users are protected by design.
Build knowledge of the Internet governance ecosystem: Participants will study key players including ICANN (PDPs), IETF, APNIC, RIRs, NOGs and ISOC, allowing them to form an understanding on how technical and operational decisions shape the Internet.
Prepare for the Summit: Learn how to actively participate and extract value from the upcoming APRICOT 2026 & APNIC 61 sessions.
Engage with the Community: Explore effective strategies for engaging with the APRICOT & APNIC communities and other key operational forums (like the APRICOT Peering Forum).

What will you learn
1. TIOF’s Mission & DCDR Framework
Understand The IO Foundation’s vision of a world where Human Rights and Data-Centric Digital Rights (DCDR) are one and the same. You will learn how DCDR provides technologists with principles, taxonomies and tools to treat users and their digital twins responsibly, positioning developers and engineers as the next generation of rights defenders and architects of digital civilizations.
2. The Global Internet Standards & Governance Ecosystem (SDOs)
Get a solid map of how the Internet is built and governed: from major Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) to major Policy Development Organizations (PDOs) with a special focus on ICANN and the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) such as APNIC and its community-driven policy work in the Asia-Pacific.
3. Network Operators & Operational Communities
Discover what Network Operators Groups (NOGs) really are: essential, informal forums where real-world Internet engineers from ISPs, IXPs, enterprises, academia share knowledge, solve daily challenges (routing/security/peering), exchange best practices and keep the Internet stable and growing. You will explore their influence on infrastructure resilience, the real frontline where technical decisions directly impact user protections and rights.
4. Asia-Pacific Regional Leadership: APNOG & APRICOT
Dive into the APRICOT Summit, the region’s premier gathering for network operators, engineers, researchers and policy experts brought to you by the Asia Pacific Network Operators Group (APNOG).
