                        Dear all,
We are happy to announce that OPT French Polynesia will host in Tahiti the
next PacNOG Educational workshop and Training - PacNOG 5, which is to be
held from  14th to 20th JUNE 2009.
Whilst we are finalizing logistics and details, Invitations, Regisrations
and Participant Information, a tentative agenda has been drafted based on
inputs from last PacNOG discussions and certain priorities that have been
raised in various forums.
We would like to customize this to be most relevant, and not only to meet
your needs but also on prioritisation, therefore we invite you to send us
your input for your specifics for consideration and additional thoughts for
customizing agenda to best meet your needs.. At the end of this list we list
a few that have been received, so feel free to discuss and indicate priority
or if any special needs, including ideas and suggestions. You can also send
it direct to us at coordinator@pita.org.fj , or pita@connect.com.fj

relationships with peers/colleagues in the region and among the instructors.
