Dave, My only issue with Hanif's comments is that he has not attended any APNIC meetings that I know of or been actively involved in community or discussions until several days ago.... actually, this also goes for you as well Dave. It also isn't obvious what membership or interests you are representing.
I would suggest that anyone who wants to have their comments and opinions taken seriously actually demonstrate a commitment to the community by attending the meetings, participating in discussions, seeking to be involved and getting to know how things work. Tell us a little about yourselves and why suddenly this involvement? ...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 Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 1:21 AM, Dave Mead <[email protected]> wrote: > Indeed, we're discussing about the ASIA region as a whole and sharing > national experiences to better understand the current situation for a > healthy debate.
