APNIC 42 to be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka
________________________________________________________________________
Following last week's announcement that APNIC 42 is relocating from
Dhaka, Bangladesh, APNIC can now confirm APNIC 42 will be held in
Colombo, Sri Lanka.
As a result, the dates for APNIC 42 have changed slightly to 28
September to 5 October. The workshops will run from 28 September to 2
October, and the conference will run from 3 to 5 October.
All registrations already made by delegates for Dhaka will of course
remain valid for APNIC 42 in Colombo. We apologize for any
inconvenience that the change in location will cause for APNIC 42
delegates.
A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page regarding the relocation to
Colombo is available on the APNIC 42 website:
https://conference.apnic.net/42/faqs
Also as a result of the relocation, APNIC 42 fellowships will reopen for
one more week to provide an opportunity for community members, including
those from Bangladesh, to apply for a fellowship for the new location.
Fellowships are now reopened, and applications will close on Monday, 18
July 2016 at 23:59 (UTC +10). You can make a fellowship application
here:
https://conference.apnic.net/42/fellowship
The APNIC 42 website will be updated regularly with new information on
the event as it is confirmed. Please check the conference website, the
APNIC Blog and APNIC social media for updates; and thank you in advance
for your patience as we confirm the new arrangements.
APNIC would again like to thank IPSAB and bdNOG for their understanding
and support.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact the
conference team at:
conference-registration(a)apnic.net
We look forward to welcoming you to APNIC 42 in Colombo.

APNIC 42 to be relocated from Dhaka
________________________________________________________________________
In the past week, the escalation of violence in Bangladesh has caused
concerns in the APNIC community about the safety of attending APNIC 42
in Dhaka. Travel advisories for Bangladesh from various governments
around the region have become stricter, making it difficult or
impossible for many APNIC community members and guests to attend the
meeting.
The APNIC Executive Council (EC) met yesterday to discuss these
concerns, and made the very difficult decision to relocate APNIC 42.
The new location, final dates and venue for the meeting will be
announced shortly.
The decision was made after deep consideration, and consultation with
our Bangladesh hosts ISPAB and BDNOG. Both organizations have been
exemplary hosts and the APNIC EC and Secretariat wish to sincerely thank
ISPAB and BDNOG for their steadfast support. They responded very
quickly to recent events in an effort to demonstrate and guarantee
security, and we greatly appreciate that effort. Like ISPAB and BDNOG,
APNIC is deeply disappointed that the decision to relocate had to be
made.
We are working to ensure the conference can remain in the South Asia
region, and to announce the new arrangements as soon as possible, within
the next week.
We do also apologize for any inconvenience this change in location will
cause for APNIC 42 delegates, including those from Bangladesh. All
registrations already made by delegates for Dhaka will of course remain
valid for APNIC 42.
A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page regarding the relocation is now
available on the APNIC 42 website:

The APNIC 42 website and this FAQ will be updated regularly with new
information on the event. Please check the conference website, the
APNIC Blog and APNIC social media for updates; and thank you in advance
for your patience as we confirm the new arrangements.
