<p class="p1"><span class="s1">APNIC is always looking to maintain the highest possible level of</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">availability of its online services to Members and the community.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Last year, APNIC began assessing the technical and process improvements</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">required to increase availability of its critical services to a high</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">level, beyond 99.99%.</span><span class="apple-converted-space">
</span><span class="s1">Significant financial and resource investments in</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The opinions of APNIC Members and the community on this work are</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">essential. Your input will help APNIC determine the scope, feasibility</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">and appetite for further investments in critical service availability.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
