[apnic-talk] [apnic-announce] KPMG Consultation and Survey on behalf of
[Note "reply-to:" field]
To: APNIC Members & Other Stakeholders
This is a follow up to the recent announcement from the APNIC Chair &
Director General.
Two and a half years ago KPMG conducted a member survey on behalf of APNIC.
The Chair of the APNIC Executive Council and the Director General have
appointed KPMG to carry out another survey.
The survey team will include:
Dr John Earls, KPMG
Dr Tan Tin Wee, National University of Singapore
Ms Stef Bradley, KPMG
Mr Bert Wu, KPMG.
I have attached a number of documents starting with one entitled "Guidelines
for Respondents" which will tell you how we plan to seek your help and the
ways in which you can be part of this valuable process to provide members of
APNIC with the best possible future services.
Before asking you go to the background link it may be helpful if I touch on
three particularly important points.
1. Target Audience
This message is addressed to members and other stakeholders. What
do we mean by this term?
In our last survey we invited members to respond by email to a
number of questions - which they did very constructively. However, in
addition we attended the Apricot meeting in Singapore and found that not
only was this a useful opportunity to talk to members but also that there
were considerable - and very constructive - discussions with other
individuals and groups who were part of the wider community in which APNIC
operates.
So while members are again our target we also want to receive input
from others who already interact with APNIC - such as ICANN, ISOC, ARIN,
RIPE NCC; APNIC sponsors; and other organisations and individuals.
Just as importantly we want to receive comment from the Government
departments in members' countries who are concerned with important policy
decisions in Information and Communication technology which may impact upon
APNIC and its members; and also departments which are responsible for
educating and training the technical staff who are critical to the service
operations of APNIC members.
2. Confidentiality
In conducting our last survey we assured participants that, while we
would pass on to APNIC all the response information, we would keep
confidential within KPMG the name or identity of any respondent. Almost 90
percent of respondents said they didn't mind who knew what they had said -
but being anonymous was important to some people - so KPMG are happy to give
you again the assurance that no participants names or identities will be
passed to APNIC.
3. Multi-Lingual Input
While we are communicating with you in English and asking questions in
English, we are happy for you to give us your responses to the questions in
either English or the AP language of your choice. In addition, in Beijing,
Tokyo, Seoul and Taipei we will have Dr Tan Tin Wee, Bert Wu or a member of
KPMG local staff to undertake translation for those who would find this
helpful.
Please help us with your participation in this important process.
John Earls
