Dear Colleagues

If you believe APNIC policy could be improved, suggest a change by submitting a policy proposal.

Policy proposals submitted before Friday 27 July 2012 will be discussed at the APNIC 34 Policy SIG.

Submit your policy proposal now for discussion at APNIC 34.

There are two ways to submit a policy proposal:

1. Use the online form at:              http://www.apnic.net/community/policy/proposals/submit

2. Send your proposal in TEXT format to policy@apnic.net.          A template is available below.

We encourage you to submit proposals well before the deadline. This gives the community more time to consider your proposal and gives you the opportunity to amend your proposal, if needed, based on the community's feedback.
