[AusNOG] An urgent call to action - Do your part and protect APNIC

[John Edwards]

As APNIC membership is in the jurisdiction of the Australian Corporations
Act, anyone who is a member has a right to inspect the register of members.

You might want to keep this in mind if you are looking for a list of
members to contact with concerns about commercialisation of their
organisation.
