CALL FOR NOMINATIONS TO APNIC EXECUTIVE COUNCIL _______________________________________________

Three positions on the APNIC Executive Council will be opened for election at APNIC Member Meeting in Perth on Friday 3 March 2006.

The members whose positions are up for re-election are Akinori Maemura, Che-Hoo Cheng, and Vinh Ngo, who were elected at the APNIC Member Meeting in Kuala Lumpur on 27 February 2004.

Nominations are due by close of business Friday 17 February 2006 at the latest.

Only APNIC members may nominate and vote for candidates, but nominees do not have to be representatives of members.

Nominations must be made using the online nomination form available at:

http://www.apnic.net/meetings/21/ec/nomination.html

For more information on nominations received, proxy registration, current EC members, and the role of the EC, please refer to:

Online voting will be available for this election, via the MyAPNIC web site. Online voting will open soon after the nomination period closes.

If you are not able to vote online or attend the AMM, you can still make your vote count by appointing a proxy to represent you at the meeting. Proxy forms are available at:

http://www.apnic.net/meetings/proxy.html

Nominees should note that positions on the APNIC Executive Council are currently voluntary and that APNIC may not be able to reimburse EC members all expenses associated with EC duties. Where possible, however, APNIC will reimburse actual expenses for attendance to APNIC meetings, providing that these fall within budget and cash flow constraints.

If you have any questions, please contact APNIC Secretariat at secretariat@apnic.net.
