Dear colleagues

The Chair's responsibilities include:

expression of interest, including a short biography in an email to
sig@apnic.net and CC sig-nir-chair@apnic.net.
If you have someone to recommend, please write to us as above.
The nomination deadline is Monday, 24 August 2009.
If there are any volunteers, elections to select the new Chair and
Co-chair will be held in the NIR SIG meeting at APNIC 28 in Beijing,
China, 25 - 28 August 2009.
Candidates need to be present at the meeting to be eligible.
