A few words
Hi,
Normally I do not address to the world. However, since I was a part
of the subject of the discussion, I feel compelled to respond. I hope
that this message will help clarifying the issues about me. I am
sorry if you find my reaction a bit retarded. Unfortunately I could
not react earlier because I had to take Anne to the Tokyo station on
Friday.
Please note that the content set forth here represents solely my
stance. It does not necessarily reflect the position of Kyoko, for I
cannot speak for her.
First of all, my responsibilities with APNIC pertain to the role of a
hostmaster, which are technical by nature. Business matters such as
the issues related to whether there was a need for relocation as well
as the location of the APNIC office were not in the scope of my
duties. I was informed by piecemeal by Randy and Kyoko. I simply
took the information I learned from them for granted.
Since the decision was already passed during the AGM in KL, I believe
that it was accepted democratically and hence the overall interests
of APNIC are far more important than my personal convenience.
To attest to this position, immediately after the AG meeting in
KL ** last June ** without hesitation and resistance I informed
Randy of my decision of not joining APNIC in Australia. More
importantly, my decision had nothing to do with the final
destination of APNIC office (i.e., Australia). Rather it was a
consequence of the fact that my husband would not be able to
join me soon enough. Therefore, I never requested for a visa
application for Australia nor APNIC ever filed any one on my behalf.
Last Thursday Randy asked me that if I was still firm of staying in
Japan. I gave him the same answer that I did in KL. In addition, he
offered me a chance to work from home after the relocation of APNIC
office at least as long as until my upcoming maternity leave
terminates or I find a new job.
Last but not least I would like to express my sincere gratitude
to all of you for everybody's kind consideration.
Regards,
Yoshiko -APNIC hostmaster
