To APNIC members, friends and others,

As announced last month, the third APNIC Member and Stakeholder Survey is now starting. The survey is being conducted by Dr John Earls of the international Financial and Consulting firm KPMG.

The aims of this survey to widely canvas the views and inputs of APNIC's community, and to contribute to APNIC's future planning processes. As an open membership-based organisation, APNIC will value and act on the results of this survey, in our genuine efforts to continuously improve services and activities.

As in previous surveys, responses will be compiled by KPMG, who will protect the anonymity of all contributions. Responses will be accepted in any of the major languages of the Asia Pacific region.

For all survey documentation, please see the survey website, at:

The APNIC EC strongly encourages all interested parties to participate in this important process. We hope to present preliminary results of the survey at the coming APNIC Open Policy Meeting, to be held in Fiji later in 2004.

I do hope that you will assist by contributing to this important activity.

Best regards,

Paul Wilson, Director General APNIC.
