The following four proposals (also attached) were received by the Policy SIG Chairs:

a. Fixing a Maximum Period of Two Terms for an EC by Shashi Parkash Jerath

b. Proposal for Government Advisory Committee (GAC) for APNIC by Rajesh Chharia

c. Proposal for the Constitution of an Independent Electoral Body to conduct APNIC Elections By CVS.SURI

d. Proposal for equal voting rights for all Members in APNIC By Pavan Duggal

The Chairs are sorry to report that we have decided that these proposals fall well outside of the scope of the Policy SIG, which is described rather simply as follows:

http://www.apnic.net/policy-sig

The charter of the Policy SIG is to develop policies and procedures which relate to the management and use of Internet address resources by APNIC, NIRs, and ISPs within the Asia Pacific region.

Instead, we (having no real authority) have suggested that the authors of these proposals take such issues to the AGM or the Executive Council.
