DOCUMENT REVIEWS
* APNIC Standard Membership Agreement - Call for further comments
The first draft of this document, which is proposed to replace the current
APNIC Membership Agreement, was released on 15 October 1999. Following the
first call for comments, it has been revised and APNIC now seeks further
comments and suggestions. A further draft of this document will be published
before the AMM2000 and will be discussed at the meeting.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS - SECOND APNIC MEMBER MEETING FOR 2000
This is an initial Call For Proposals for a date and venue for the second
APNIC Meeting of 2000, to be held during August, September, or October 2000.
By making this call for proposals, APNIC hopes to identify a meeting
opportunity which minimises cost to members in time and travel expense,
which maximises attendance through co-ordination with other Internet-related
events, and which takes advantage of local sponsorship and support where
available.
Therefore, criteria for selection of a meeting date and venue will include:
- Accessibility to APNIC members located throughout the AP region
- Co-location of the meeting with significant Internet-related event
- Availability of local logistical support for organising the meeting
- Degree of sponsorship support able to be arranged by the meeting host
The meeting is expected to run for 2 days, and involve 50-100 participants.
The agenda (which is still to be developed) is likely to involve both
plenary, and small group sessions (up to 4 groups running in parallel).
Proposals may be submitted by APNIC Member organisations, or by any
organisation with an interest in supporting APNIC activities. It should be
noted that provision of financial support by the proponent is not a
necessary part of any proposal.
The final date and location of this Meeting will be discussed and decided at
the coming APNIC Annual Member Meeting (in Seoul on 3 March 2000). In order
that they can be properly considered before that meeting, proposals are
requested by no later than 1 February 2000, by email to
<secretariat at apnic dot net>.
Proposals due: 1 February 2000
