quick report of AP*Retreat meeting
by KITAMURA,Yasuichi Sept. 7, 2015

Sept. 7, 2015

Dear APRALO, The following is the quick summary of AP* Retreat meeting on September 7th (+0700). (Quick request) >>>>> Dear All, As discussed on the meeting today regarding the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal, please find below the proposed AP* statement of support. Kindly confirm your agreement and I will collate the names/ organization. Please note that we need to send our statement by 8 September 2015. -------- Statement of support We the undersigned , as active members of the Asia Pacific Internet community, wish to express our support for the ICG’s IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal. Signed, name, organisation (optional). ------ Thanks, Sweet <<<<< (Proposal) >>>>> Dear all, Thanks to those who came to the AP* meeting today, who gave reports and participated in some interesting discussions. Thanks also to Sweet Mae and the secretariat. Regarding the next meeting, I made a rather spontaneous proposal to have a more open event next time (in New Zealand) which would allow all interested people to join. It could be called the “AP* Forum”, and it could follow more or less the same format of reports from AP* organisations, plus other topics of interest. If this is still agreeable to everyone, then we will plan accordingly for the event in New Zealand, still on the usual day (which I think is Sunday 21 Feb, but we should confirm this). We will need to plan for a venue of the appropriate size, perhaps based on the number of registrations that we receive. APNIC will support the forum, as we usually do support the AP* retreat; but we may seek sponsors for additional financial support. Interested to hear feedback about this proposal. Paul. ________________________________________________________________________ Paul Wilson, Director-General, APNIC dg(a)apnic.net http://www.apnic.net @apnicdg Sent from my unibody MacBook Pro 15inch (Retina Display) <<<<< ----- KITAMURA, Yasuichi <kita_at_jp_dot_apan_dot_net>
