[sig-nir] Re: NIR-SIG at APNIC18 - Call for presentations and newco-chai
hi Izumi,
Just a note in response to let you know that the impact of this
proposal as well as the proposal [prop-024-v001] 'Changing the
NIR fee structure' are both currently being analysed. It is hoped
that a result will be available before the meeting.
Best wishes,
Anne
