Hi,
Not certain this is fully appropriate for the APNIC-TALK list, however it
does relates to the operation of APNIC.

>Dear APNIC Executive Council,
>
>Effective February 22, 1998 I hereby resign my position as the Director
>General of the Asia Pacific Network Information Center and as director of
>Asia Pacific Network Information Center, Ltd.
>
>My decision to resign results from my observation that APNIC has matured to
>a point where it needs an individual trained with a different set of skills
>than that the one I possess. At this point in time, I feel APNIC has moved
>from a period in which focus was on the creation and stabilization of the
>basic underlying structures towards a time in which routine day-to-day
>administration becomes the primary concern. As such administration
>requires someone with both advanced business-related skills as well as
>inter-personal skills not typically associated with technically oriented
>computer people, I feel APNIC will be best served if I step down and allow
>an individual with these skills to step forward.
>
>In addition, it has been my observation that the role of Director General
>of APNIC is evolving to one which has a significantly higher profile in
>discussion relating to Internet governance than has been true in the past.
>Specifically, based on the evolution of the European registry in
>particular, and the North American registry to a lesser extent, the role of
>APNIC Director General will likely entail a higher degree of regional
>advocacy than is likely appropriate for an ex-patriot American living in
>the region.
>
>Finally, with the upcoming executive council election, the full executive
>council will have been elected by the membership as opposed to being
>appointed by me. As such, I feel the timing is right for the removal of
>the last vestige of the former ad-hoc APNIC structure, namely myself.
>
>I deeply appreciate the opportunities APNIC has offered me and I will be
>happy to continue on as acting Director General of APNIC and acting
>director of APNIC, Ltd. until such a time as my replacement can be located
>and trained should the Executive Council so desire.
>
>Sincerely,
>David R. Conrad
>Director General
>Asia Pacific Network Information Center
