Hi,

In order to make life easier for just about everyone, I've rearranged
the APNIC FTP server a bit.  The new structure is:

apnic/
        archive/                -- archive of APNIC documents
        dbase/                  -- APNIC's database
        docs/                   -- pointers to current documents
        drafts/                 -- drafts of new documents
        info/                   -- various informational items
        meetings/               -- APNIC meeting documents

ietf/                           -- Internet Engineering Task Force Mirror
        fyi/                    -- "For Your Information" documents
        iesg/                   -- Internet Engineering Steering Group docs
        internet-drafts/        -- Internet drafts
        mail/                   -- IETF mailing list archives
        rfc/                    -- IETF "Request For Comments"
        std/                    -- IETF Standards
        wg/                     -- IETF Working Groups

incoming/                       -- where new files go

isoc/                           -- Internet Society mirror

mailing-lists/                  -- APNIC maintained mail list archives

registries/                     -- Various registries
        apnic/                  -- pointer to /apnic
        internic/               -- InterNIC document mirror
        ripe/

members/
        confederations/         -- APNIC recognized confederations
        large/                  -- Large APNIC members
        medium/                 -- Medium APNIC members
        small/                  -- Small APNIC members

tools/                          -- various (perhaps) useful tools

The most noticable change will likely be the putting all the
apnic-0xx.txt documents into /apnic/archive and using descriptive
links in /apnic/docs (e.g.: /apnic/docs/membership-application is a
link to /apnic/archive/apnic-046.txt).

In the future, APNIC will update the links so we can refer to the
descriptive name for forms instead of a number that keeps changing
everytime we update a form.

Comments welcome.

Regards,
-drc
