We look forward to seeing you at the 11th APNIC Open Policy Meeting, to be
held in conjunction with APRICOT2001, from 26 February to 2 March 2001, at
the Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
APRICOT is a forum that facilitates knowledge sharing among key Internet
builders in the region, with peers and leaders from the Internet community
worldwide. The week-long summit comprises seminars, workshops, tutorials,
conference sessions, Birds of a Feather (BOFs), and other forums, all geared
towards spreading and sharing the knowledge required to operate the Internet
within the Asia Pacific region.
As in previous years, APNIC is assisting APRICOT in 2001, both as a Platinum
Sponsor and as coordinator of a "track" within the conference programme.
APNIC activities during APRICOT will include:
- APNIC Training and tutorials
- Special Interest Group (SIG) sessions
- Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions
- Hostmaster consultation sessions

The APNIC Annual Member Meeting will be held on 2 March 2001, at the Putra
World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur, following APRICOT2001.
The APNIC Annual Member Meeting (AMM) provides a forum for discussions and
decision-making on issues specific to APNIC Membership, including the APNIC
budget, workplan, annual report, and the election of members of the APNIC
Executive Council (see below).
This is the major event in APNIC's annual calendar and is open to everyone
who is interested in Internet addressing issues in the Asia Pacific region
(although only members are entitled to cast formal votes).
* IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Please note that registration for the AMM will be separate from the APRICOT
registration. Our online registration form will be announced when it becomes

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS TO APNIC EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
Four positions on the APNIC Executive Council will be opened for election at
the APNIC Members Meeting on Friday 2 March 2001, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The members whose positions are up for re-election are Xing Li, Kuo-Wei Wu,
Tommi Chen, and Oh Kwang Sok, who were all elected at the APNIC Member
Meeting in Singapore in March 1999.
Nominations are due by close of business Thursday 15 February 2001 at the
latest.
Nominees do not have to be representatives of APNIC members; however, only
APNIC members may make nominations. Members are welcome to nominate a
representative of their own organisation.
Nominations must be made using the online nomination form available at:
http://www.apnic.net/meetings/ec-2001-11.html
Details of all nominees will be posted on the web site and will be
distributed at the meeting.
Nominees should note that positions on the APNIC Executive Council are
currently voluntary and that APNIC may not be able to reimburse EC members
all expenses associated with EC duties. Where possible, however, APNIC
will reimburse actual expenses for attendance to APNIC meetings, providing
that these fall within budget and cashflow constraints.
