22nd APNIC Open Policy Meeting 4-8 September 2006 Kaohsiung, Taiwan

Dear colleagues

Are you aware that APNIC meetings are changing format? APNIC 22 has an innovative programme showcasing presentations on operational Internet issues. Two new types of sessions will be added to the APNIC 22 programme on Wednesday 6 September 2006:

* APOPS (Asia Pacific OPeratorS Forum)

Previously a BoF, APOPS will now showcase Internet operational content of wide interest to the community. Most of Wednesday's programme will consist of APOPs sessions.

* Lightning talks

Lightning talks are a chance for the community to discuss Internet issues and trends that emerge in the weeks before APNIC 22.

Policy proposals will be discussed in the appropriate SIG sessions on Thursday 7 September 2006. Tutorials, Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions, hostmaster consultations, the APNIC Member Meeting (AMM), and social events will continue to be a part of the APNIC meeting programme.
