Dear NIR SIG members,

I hope you are looking forward to the NIR SIG session at APNIC 27 in Manila.

For the first time, APNIC is trialling a web conference system (Dimdim) at the NIR SIG and you are invited to join it.

This system allows you to participate LIVE! in the NIR SIG remotely particularly if you cannot attend APNIC 27 in person.

To access this system, please follow the instructions listed below:

Step 1 ====== Make sure your favourite web browser has the latest Adobe Flash Player plugin installed.

Step 2 ====== Go to this URL: http://dimdim.meetings.apnic.net/portal/JoinForm.action?meetingRoomName=nirs...

Step 3 ====== In the Meeting Room text box, enter "nirsig" and in the Enter Name text box, type your "name".

Step 4 ====== The system will check your web browser's compatibility. Once the compatibility test is passed, you will then be taken to the NIR SIG web conference room.

If your PC has a web camera, you may activate it through Dimdim for a two-way video conference. Please note that the two-way video may or may not work depending on the bandwidth capacity available at Manila.

However, once you are in the NIR SIG web conference room, you should be able to view the webcast, open the presentaion slides, if available, and at the same time, ask questions or make comments through the in-built live chat.

If you have any queries, please email them to sunny@apnic.net for assistance.

So, why not take advantage of this trial and join the NIR SIG at APNIC 27. You can be a part of these interesting discussions.

Kind regards Izumi Okutani, Billy Cheon, Ching-Heng Ku
