Thanks, David. I know a) is urgent for various reason, but still this
is not acceptable to me. My main concern is decision making process
in this structure. I think my opinion is very much similar to that of
Mr. Obata, and probably it takes a couple of time to discuss it. So
here, I restrict myself to proposing only one point in modifying the
current draft documents, and for the remaining part b), c), and d),
I would like to accept David's proposal.
The only point of modification I propose is to introduce audit. Some
thing like this:
Executive Council may apoint auditors.
Auditors may investigate all the activities of APNIC and the
coporation including activities of Directors and members of the
corporation. The corporation shall pay all expense needed for audit.
My English maybe not good. Please correct it.
I think this kind of audit is indispensable for ensuring reasonable
"governance" of the system by the Executive Council.
Could you ask the law firm how we can implement my idea?
