Enrico, Are you suggesting that APNIC isn't effectively representing Asian interests? Have you looked to see who the EC comprises?
Please check out: http://www.apnic.net/about-APNIC/organization/structure/apnic-executive-council/ec-members and let me and the community know if you do not think that most of these people are leaders from Asia who understand the local community and developments. Also, look at the staff breakdown of APNIC at http://www.apnic.net/about-APNIC/team which I think very clearly represents the economies in the region. I really don't know how you can suggest that APNIC is not an organisation that is heavily focused on Asia. Personally I think all this nationalistic talk is nonsense and people need to think of the whole community, not just their country or corner of the community. To suggest that only asians in Asia can do the job effectively start to take us down a path that will get very messy. ...Skeeve *Skeeve Stevens - *eintellego Networks Pty Ltd [email protected] ; www.eintellegonetworks.com Phone: 1300 239 038; Cell +61 (0)414 753 383 ; skype://skeeve facebook.com/eintellegonetworks ; <http://twitter.com/networkceoau> linkedin.com/in/skeeve experts360: https://expert360.com/profile/d54a9 twitter.com/theispguy ; blog: www.theispguy.com The Experts Who The Experts Call Juniper - Cisco - Cloud - Consulting - IPv4 Brokering On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 9:06 AM, Enrico Tam <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > This is a very good discussion.
