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. Izumi 2023年7月26日(水) 16:01 HiroHOTTA <hotta@jprs.co.jp>:

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

Dear friends,

Here's what I received from Prof. Li Xing.

I had dinner with him the other day in Beijing and handed Toru's photo, we talked a bit about Toru and his involvement in the Internet development in China and Asia.

I also attach some of the photos I took there at Nishan Conference there the other day.

I plan to go to Kyoto in September to join APNIC meeting and also in October for IGF. For those coming to these events, see you there!

Izumi

Dear Izumi-san,

How are you?

We have performanced a Memorial service for Mr. Toru Takahashi at Tsinghua University. Please see attached document. Due to the time management issuse during the Summer, we prefer to have distributed memorial services. We will send Turo's portrait to Liu Dong and then to Li Xiaodong.

Best regards,

xing
