[AusNOG] Call for Nominations to the APNIC Executive Council

[James Spenceley]

Dave and All,

Thanks for the post and comments !

As David said there is a great opportunity for Australia to have  
representation on the APNIC EC, especially at such a vital time.

APNIC during the next two years is probably going to the see the  
practical exhaustion of IPv4 and significant risk to the organisation  
and general address integrity within the Internet. As David and I have  
both commented having an Australian representative on the EC during  
this period can only be a positive thing for us (~30% of the members)  
and the AP region.

The odd thing about APNIC elections is that assigning me proxy votes  
is more useful than an online vote. At AusNOG02 we started collecting  
proxies, if you are an APNIC member and would be happy to support my  
effort to the EC, it would be greatly appreciated if you could drop me  
an email (off list) and I can email you a completed proxy form to be  
signed.

The election will be held at the APNIC member meeting in Manila - Feb  
27th Feb 2009 (in conjunction with the APRICOT conference) and I  
believe proxies need to be lodged at least a week in advance.

Thanks to everyone who is offering support and votes, it's much  
appreciated, hopefully we'll have a good go at it.

James
