The first TLNOG discussion commenced as an initiative by a senior colleague from PHNOG, Mrs. Sheryl Hermoso, who proactively sent out invitations for the discussion via email. Consequently, the discussion took place through a Zoom meeting on April 17, 2024. Following this initial meeting, we concurred that the local Internet community would greatly benefit from the establishment of a NOG. Furthermore, it was acknowledged that increased participation from ISPs and other sectors, including academia, enterprises, and government, is essential for progressing this initiative.
