Re: APNIC update
Dear APNIC friends,
I have been following APNIC's history from a distance but with great
interest and sympathy. I have attended quite some APNIC meetings and I
did not make it to Manila only due to unforeseen developments which
required my presence at the RIPE NCC. My staff and I have numerous
contacts with APNIC staff and I have witnessed -from a distance- the
developments which lead to the moving of the secretariat and to David's
decision to resign. Let me just make a couple of *personal* comments
for you all to ponder:
To me it is absolutely unthinkable that David would not give *very*
careful consideration to the concerns of the staff.
David has discussed some decisions regarding APNIC with me. To me it is
obvious that his sole concern when making those decisions was the
success of APNIC.
I recommend to the APNIC *membership* to consider the person David
Conrad and what he has achieved on their behalf and offer him an
adaequate position within the APNIC structure. Whether this be one of
paid "technical director" or unpaid "special advisor" or some such I
cannot say. What I can say is that in my opinion you should not loose
David and that in order to keep him your explicit support needs to come
from the membership at large and be voiced clearly and individually.
Daniel Karrenberg
