Re: [Wg-apnic-fees] Results of APNIC fee structure vote (fwd)
Dear Philip,
I don't think the Secretariat and/or the EC can disclose the
vote count breakdown by membership category in any case,
especially whether the distribution has a specific pattern
or not.
I hope you understand in this way.
Regards,
Akinori
