MoU with APNIC. Holly’s update

I have had a chat with the CEO of APNIC at the Oz IGF - and he is very interested in an MoU with us - and wants to talk about what would be in it. The model is the one between LANIC and AFRALO - but ours would be different - APNIC already provides a lot of regional training, and I"m not sure we want the same level of funding since the APAC region's needs are different. But please have a look at the attached, and at the APNIC site (APNIC.org) to see all that they offer anyway. I'd like to be able to finalise something with APNIC in BA - and need to know what the APAC needs are first.

6. Planning for Singapore. I know, it's a few months off, but we need to start planning for a showcase event now - and I"ll need some willing committee members.

7. Report on the Bali IGF. I know a lot of you were there, and what I'd like to hear are the issues of importance to the APAC region and APRALO. (Pavan - you were there and can start the discussion - others are welcome to chime in)

8. Update from KT on indigenous domain names - can we start planning for the webinar?
