Hi Sanan, Thanks for sharing that. I just cannot agree for a non-for-profit membership organisation mismanaging funds like this and expecting members to bless even more. Its time we continue to raise our voice to stop such behavoiur and divert funds for community deelopment benefits members.

The entire senior management, including your Executve Assistant and those who work for APNIC as consultants travel in business class contributing to the success of the airlines but clearly not Internet development in this region. http://www.apnic.net/about-APNIC/team Paul, you're leading a not-for-profit organisation not a comerncial entity that you and your senior management can erode member funds for your comfortable travels across the world. This is just outrageous and mismanagement of Member funds. Members like to see the Executive Council takes note of this and truely represent the Members to better manage their funds to contribute for the Internet development in this region. A lot of development work can be done if the funds are managed effectively not use for personal benefits.
