>Can someone explain why APNIC is moving ?
I think the following points were explained in previous APNIC
meetings:
1. It is rather easy to establish a non-profit organization in AU.
2. APNIC will probably gain tax exempt status in AU.
3. The cost for maintaining APNIC office will be reasonable in AU.
I think we must recheck these points in the current discussion of
legal documents.

I'm afraid this is offensive for Anne and David. I believe they
were/are/will be willing to contribute APNIC, and they thought AU a
good place for it. I thought, when I was attending APNIC meetings in
Kuala Lumpur and Manila, it is not a bad idea to respect their
thinking.

To me, this seems to be an endless dispute. What happens to all of the
people and their needs in India, Iran and Pakistan, in the case APNIC
office stays in Japan? --- I don't like this kind of meaningless
arguing. APNIC must be equal and must maintain good relationship with
all of the members regardless of the distance from its office. For
this purpose, I think it's crucially important for APNIC staffs to
take advantage of every opportunities for communication to members,
not merely sitting in front of the terminals.
