Many thanks Hotta san for your warm remarks for recognizing Toru’s contributions for AP* and other areas that are relatively unknown yet very important for advancing Asian Internet activities.

And thanks for the invitation to the event, I will be honored to be there and share some thoughts on Sep 11 in Kyoto.

Dear Izumi,

Thank you very much for sharing this.

Personally : I might not be among the Internet community in this
depth without Toru's dedication to the AP regional Internet
development. And ... I could not have even been in the recipient
list of your messages.

AP* Retreat meeting, which Toru had invested  even his personal
time and funds, will have a meeting in Kyoto on Monday 11th
September in conjunction with APNIC meetings. If you could come
to AP* Retreat meeting and give some remarks to the meeting, it
would be greatly appreciated. In that case, I will secure a time
slot in AP* Retreat for Toru's retrospective.

I hope you can make yourself available on 11th September in Kyoto.

Hiro
