Dear SIG member

At APNIC 22 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, the APNIC SIG Chairs and Co-chairs requested that the APNIC Secretariat update and clarify the following elements of SIG and SIG Chair guidelines:

- Chair and Co-chair responsibilities and election procedures - How to create and dissolve a SIG

The Secretariat has now completed a draft that incorporates material from three existing documents. When the draft is finalised, it will replace the following documents:

- SIG administrative procedures http://www.apnic.net/meetings/archive/sigs/sig-admin-procedures-v001.pdf

- Guidelines for SIG Chairs http://www.apnic.net/meetings/archive/sigs/sig-chair-guide.pdf

- Guidelines for SIG presenters http://www.apnic.net/meetings/archive/sigs/sig-presenter-guide.pdf

In addition to the updates requested by the APNIC SIG Chairs and Co-chairs, the draft contains an appendix that describes the basic steps in the consensus decision making process.

Call for community input ------------------------

To view the provisionally active draft document please see:

Please send any comments you have to the apnic-talk mailing list by Tuesday 27 February 2007. Details of the list can be found at:

The adoption of the draft SIG guidelines will be on the agenda of all the SIGs at APNIC 23 in Bali, Indonesia, 26 February - 2 March 2007.
