[Note "reply-to:" field]
[with apologies for duplicates]
Dear Friend,
The APNIC Open Policy Meeting is coming up soon, and here is a brief update
on preparations for this important event. For more information and up to the
minute news, be sure to visit the meeting website at:
http://www.apnic.net/meetings
EARLY-BIRD REGISTRATION ENDS SOON!!!
Although the meeting is now only 6 weeks away, we have still not received
many registrations. We know that many of you are intending to attend the
meeting, but have been too busy to register.
Please note that the discounted early-bird registration fee is available
only until 15 September (only 2 days from now!!!). After that time,
registration will cost extra for APNIC members and non-members.
Please also remember that due to current high demand for flights to and from
Australia, you should be sure to make travel arrangements as soon as
possible.
MEETING SCHEDULE
You will be glad to hear that preparations for the meeting are now well
advanced, and the meeting schedule is close to final. At the end of this
email, we have attached the latest programme overview, but please come to
the meeting website for all the details.
We are currently working with the Chairs of the Special Interest Group (SIG)
sessions to finalise agendas and papers, which will also be published soon.
OPENING RECEPTION AND SOCIAL EVENT
Please remember that although the meeting runs from 25 to 27 October, the
Opening Reception is in the evening of Tuesday 24 October. This will be an
enjoyable social event with cultural entertainment featuring traditional
Australian Aboriginal performers who will soon appear at the Sydney
Olympics, and which will give everyone the chance to meet and mingle with
other attendees.
You will also want to know about the special Social Event of the meeting -
an evening river cruise on the picturesque Brisbane River (cost USD$30 per
person, including dinner). This will be held on Wednesday 25 October.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
As you may know, Brisbane is a modern city with many recreational
activities, including golf and casinos as well as an unspoilt natural
environment. It is also very close to the Gold Coast, and a short flight
away from Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, all popular international
tourist destinations. If you allocate a few extra days for sightseeing
while you are here, you will be sure to have a great time.
I hope you can see that the meeting will be an interesting and enjoyable
event for all. Please join us in Brisbane!
Paul Wilson
Director General.
