Dear Colleague,

The next Database Special Interest Group (DB SIG) meeting will be held in

discussing technical, policy and operational issues relating to the
management of Internet resources within the Asia Pacific region. The charter
of the Database SIG is to examine developments in the operation of the APNIC
Whois Database and to discuss related issues affecting registration
practices, database security, specification of objects and database
features.

This e-mail is a request for contributions. Proposals are welcome from
anyone interested in the management of Internet Resources in the Asia
Pacific region.

If you would like to take part in the DB SIG, please submit a proposal by 19
January 2005, using the online form at:
