Conrad" Sender: owner-nics@apnic.net Precedence: bulk [Apologies for duplicates] Hi, As you may already know, January is shaping up to be a somewhat congested month for conferences that might be of some interest to ISPs in the AP region. This note is to fill you in on some of the details. The schedule of the meetings, all in Singapore, is as follows: Jan 17 - 19: Asia Pacific Rim Internet Conference on Operational Technologies (APRICOT) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This conference is intended to help transfer Internet operational knowledge to service providers in the AP region. Respected operators and speakers from around the world have agreed to participate and share their knowledge. The agenda for APRICOT is: Jan 17: Tutorials Jan 18: Conference Jan 19: Conference and Asia Pacific Operations Forum Kickoff Meeting For more information and to register (and I *strongly* encourage early registration as space is limited), see http://www.apricot.net/apricot. Jan 20: 3rd APNIC Meeting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Current agenda items include: APNIC Funding Plan Modifications APNIC Organizations Proposal APNIC Incorporation Status APNIC Financial Status National NIC status reports Other agenda items are solicited. Needless to say, I beleive it is very important that ISPs attend this meeting as the APNIC funding plan will be discussed and modified. It is possible that APNIC and the APNG Commercial Working Group will hold a joint session, as was done at the 2nd APNIC meeting in Honolulu. I'll update you as things develop. Note that the APNIC meeting will have a US $50 attendance fee (paid in cash at the door). The APNIC meeting will be held in the same venue as the APRICOT meeting. I will be sending out a registration form for the 3rd APNIC meeting sometime next week. Jan 21: Internet Legal Task Force ----------------------------------------------------------------- The newly established Internet Legal Task Force will be meeting at the National University of Singapore.

The APNIC Annual General Meeting will be held in Hong Kong at the Excelsior Hotel on January 31, 1997 immediately following the APRICOT '97 conference (more information on APRICOT '97 can be found at http://www.apricot.net and I encourage all to attend). This APNIC meeting will be open, however there will be a registration fee (payable by cash or check at the door) of US $50.00. For paid APNIC members however, there are a number of complimentary registrations, the number dependent on the self-determined size of the organization: Large 4 complimentary registrations Medium 2 complimentary registrations Small 1 complimentary registrations The tentative agenda for the meeting is: 8:00 - 9:00 Registration and Continental Breakfast 9:00 - 9:30 Call to order and Administrivia 9:30 - 10:30 Executive Council Elections (2 seats) 10:30 - 11:00 APNIC Secretariat Status Report 11:00 - 12:00 Funding Plan Modifications discussions and voting 12:00 - 1:30 Lunch (not provided) 1:30 - 2:30 APNIC Activities Plan discussions and voting 2:30 - 4:45 Member Updates 4:45 - 5:00 Adjournment Additional agenda items are requested, but must be submitted 48 hours before the APNIC meeting. With respect to the current agenda, a couple of additional details: Executive Council Elections: There are 2 seats, occupied by Sanjaya of IndoInternet in Indonesia and B. A. C. Abeywardana of Electroteks Network Services of Sri Lanka . According to the By-Laws, all members should nominate an individual from their organization who they would like to serve on the executive council by no later than 7 days before the APNIC Meeting (e.g., by Jan 24). Funding Plan Modifications: As discussed (slightly) on the funding-wg mailing list, there are 2 proposal before the membership: a) Setting non-membership fees based on address space utilization b) Creation of a "confederation" fee category which has fees based on the number of members. The latter proposal has a draft document available which details the requirements for becoming a "confederation". This document will be posted in the APNIC document store before the end of the month. APNIC Activities Plan: The APNIC Secretariat will present a series of recommended actions for the membership to vote on. With respect to hotels, you may find the APRICOT Hotel Information page useful (see: http://www.apricot.net/hotel.html). If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at your convenience.
