The forums for policy development are the face-to-face Open Policy Meetings, which are held twice each year, and the public mailing list discussions of the Special Internet Groups.

APNIC's open Policy Development Process (PDP) also invites stakeholders interested in Internet number resources from around the world (but mostly the Asia Pacific) to participate. These include representatives from governments, regulators, educators, media, the technical community, civil society, and other not-for-profit organizations.

APNIC's PDP is:

* '''Open'''
** Anyone can propose policies.
** Everyone can discuss policy proposals.
* '''Transparent'''
** APNIC publicly documents all policy discussions and decisions.
* '''Bottom-up'''
** The community drives policy development.
