Re: [sig-policy] Four last minute policy proposals not appropriate for S
Dear Randy and all,
The APNIC EC recognises a need for further discussion among the APNIC
membership about decision making mechanisms for matters outside of the
address policy process, for instance regarding APNIC's own organisational
structures and processes.
Therefore the EC has decided to convene a BoF session during APNIC 30, as
described briefly below. We hope that this will provide a useful
opportunity for discussion of these matters.
Thanks and regards,
Paul Wilson
for the APNIC EC.

BOF: APNIC Membership Decision Processes
Wednesday 25 August
This BoF is organised for those interested in APNIC Membership decision
making processes, and ongoing development of those processes to suit
APNIC Members' needs. The session will be of most interest to APNIC
Members but is open to all.

The following four proposals (also attached) were received by the Policy
SIG Chairs:
a. Fixing a Maximum Period of Two Terms for an EC
by Shashi Parkash Jerath
b. Proposal for Government Advisory Committee (GAC) for APNIC
by Rajesh Chharia
c. Proposal for the Constitution of an Independent Electoral Body
to conduct APNIC Elections
By CVS.SURI
d. Proposal for equal voting rights for all Members in APNIC
By Pavan Duggal
The Chairs are sorry to report that we have decided that these proposals
fall well outside of the scope of the Policy SIG, which is described
rather simply as follows:
<http://www.apnic.net/policy-sig>
The charter of the Policy SIG is to develop policies and procedures
which relate to the management and use of Internet address resources
by APNIC, NIRs, and ISPs within the Asia Pacific region.
Instead, we (having no real authority) have suggested that the authors
of these proposals take such issues to the AGM or the Executive Council.
