Members
As the new Chair of the APNIC Executive Council I like to welcome the new
(and some not so new) members.
For the general membership of APNIC, some background.
At the recent APNIC meeting in Singapore, elections for EC positions were
held. At the APNIC Members' Meeting on 6 March 1999, the APNIC Executive
Council was expanded from five members to seven, with the election of two
members to fill outgoing positions and two members for the newly created
positions.
Following were elected:
Che-Hoo Cheng (Hong Kong)
Tommi Chen (Malaysia)
Geoff Huston (Australia)
Xing Li (China)
Oh Kwang Sok (S. Korea)
Toru Takahashi (Japan)
Kuo-Wei Wu (Taiwan)
The weeks following the S'pore APNIC meeting, elections for the position of
Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary were held. Toru Takahashi stepped down
as Chair of EC and stated he was not seeking re-election as Chair.
Following were then elected:
Chair Tommi Chen
Treasurer Toru Takahashi
Secretary Che-Hoo Cheng
I like to thank Toru for his role as Chair and the last EC members for
their good work. I like the new EC to continue the work of the last EC and
following the Singapore members meeting, to take up some issues raised by
members. Thanks for all the member contributions during that meeting.
Besides the day-to-day issues of APNIC membership (of which the growth of
Internet users resulting in higher IP address request is one issue), 1999
would be challenging with the impact of ICANN/ASO and the use of IPv6.
I hope you'll give us your full support.
Thanks all.
