I'm standing for election to the NRO NC - you can see more at http://meetings.apnic.net/32/elections I was appointed to this to fill a vacancy left by a resignation earlier this year and I think its a useful thing to be involved with. If you're an APNIC member or can wield influence over the person at your organisation who handles this, I'd appreciate your support. Voting is now open until Tuesday 30 August via http://myapnic.net I'd encourage you to vote - the usual things about not complaining when you haven't voted apply here too. andy
