The ITS Asia Pacific BOD Meeting was held in Kaohsiung, Chinese-Taipei on July 26, 2010 in conjunction with the "Asia-Pacific Workshop on ITS/Telematics Development" hosted by ITS Taiwan. Nine ITS-AP BOD members got together from Australia, Chinese-Taipei, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore and Thailand to discuss enhancing the current framework and structure in order to strengthen the ITS AP organizations, and came to a consensus on the basic scheme of the World Congress BOD structure in the AP region.

In addition, ITS Japan proposed the first draft version of the new AP MOU on behalf of the AP secretariat, which will be signed by the 14 members during the Busan World Congress on ITS in October 2010.

After the ITS-AP BOD meeting, the members were welcomed to the "Asia Pacific Workshop on ITS/Telematics Development and The 12thAnniversary of TIS Taiwan" and introduced the current ITS status in the major AP countries. The host area also introduced the ITS/Telematics activities, and many young attendees from engineering fields actively joined the question and answer session.

ITS-AP BOD members also had a chance to make a courtesy visit to Ms. Chu Chen, the Mayor of Kaohsiung on the same day. In the short meeting at the city hall, she promised the further promotion of ITS in Kaohsiung city and requested the strong support for the AP Forum 2011 that the city will host in June 2011.

The next day, the members visited the Traffic Control Center of Transportation Bureau and the city's public transportation system including the Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit system and Kaohsiung Solar-Powered Sightseeing Boat. The AP Forum 2011 in Kaohsiung will be held from June 8-10, 2011.
