[Apnic-announce] Announcing the Third APNIC Members andStakeholders Survey

["Paul Wilson" <pwilson@apnic.net>]

To APNIC members, friends, and others

This message is being sent to you as a member or stakeholder of APNIC, 
the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre.

The APNIC Executive Council (EC) has recently commissioned the next 
official survey of APNIC's community, to be conducted by the 
international Financial and Consulting firm KPMG. This will be the 
third APNIC Members and Stakeholders Survey (following surveys in 1999 
and 2001).

The aims of this survey are again to widely canvas the views and inputs 
of APNIC's community, and to contribute to APNIC's future planning 
processes. As an open membership-based organisation, APNIC will value, 
and act on, the results of this survey, in our genuine efforts to 
continuously improve services and activities.

Unlike previous surveys, this activity will be based primarily on 
structured questionnaires, rather than interviews and meetings. This is 
to reduce cost and to allow more precise and structured feedback about 
APNIC's specific activities, priorities, and budget allocations.

As in previous surveys, responses will be compiled by KPMG, who will 
protect the anonymity of all contributions. Responses will be accepted 
in any of the major languages of the Asia Pacific region.

The APNIC EC strongly encourages all interested parties to participate 
in this important process. Full details of how to participate will be 
available shortly. We hope to present preliminary results of the survey 
at the coming APNIC Open Policy Meeting, to be held in Fiji later in 
2004.

In the meantime, for information on past APNIC surveys, please visit

We do hope that you will assist by contributing to this important activity.



Best regards,

Paul Wilson,
Director General
APNIC.
