Dear APNIC Member,

This is a reminder about the coming APNIC Annual Member Meeting, to be 
held in Bangkok, Thailand as part of the 13th APNIC Open Policy Meeting 
and APRICOT 2002. 

The APNIC Annual Member Meeting will be held on Thursday 7 March 2002.

This meeting is a forum for APNIC Members' discussions and decision-
making on issues specific to APNIC Membership, including review of 
recommendations of Open Policy Meeting SIGs, and formal voting on
various proposals.

Importantly, the Annual Member Meeting is also the venue for election of
new Executive Council members, who will serve APNIC for the next 2
years.

More important details about these events follow.
