[nznog] Fwd: Apricot2006 Registrations

I thought I'd also mention that APNIC has invitation letters for those who are interested in attending the meeting. (It's been found to be helpful in some cases in supporting one's case to attend the meeting.) If you want an invitation letter, just drop me an email. We're happy to send it out by post or as pdf - as you prefer.) There are some really good technical workshops and tutorials at this meeting that you really should take the opportunity to attend. (ISP routing, BGP multihoming, IPv6 Deployment, DNS & DNSSec & Network security.) Also, I think I can promise good Beer in Perth... Nurani APNIC Begin forwarded message:

I know may of you will be at NZNOG in March but if you need more conference time then the annual Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies (APRICOT) event is happening in Perth, Western Australia from 22nd February to 3rd March 2006. Registrations for the event are open and early bird is closing on the 14th Jan (tomorrow!).

This is the first time that APRICOT will be held in Australia and I've been told they'd really love to see lots of us coming over for it! APRICOT consists of workshops, tutorials, conference, as well as the 6 monthly APNIC meeting.
