I am yet to understand who the EC is representing. For sure the EC is not representing Members by allowing APNIC staff travel in business class.
I am also yet to understand if APNIC is for Asia and Oceania or just for Oceania. I think this RIR is for Oceania not Asia.
Reasons:
1. Located in Australia (Oceania)
2. Headed by an Australian and 90% of its senior managemnt or the decision makers are from Oceania.
3. Follows Australian travel adversaries. No trainings or workshops here in Pakistan for last two years.
4. Contributes to the Australian work force
So, I think it is an 'Australia' Pacifc Network Information Centre (APNIC) not Asia Pacific RIR.

We're talking now and hope the EC pay close attention to this discussion.
