Two positions on the APNIC Executive Council will be opened for election
at the APNIC Members' Meeting, to be held on 6 March 1999, at the

APNIC is pleased to call for nominations for these positions, which are
currently held by Xing Li <xing@cernet.edu.cn> and Sriskadi Charmonman

Nominees do not have to be representatives of APNIC members; however,
only current APNIC members may make nominations. Members are welcome to 
nominate a representative of their own organisation.

The closing date for nominations is 20 February 1999. Details of all
nominees will be posted on the APNIC website 
( http://www.apnic.net/ec-nominees.html ) and will be distributed at

nominees, the nominations must be in the form provided below. To
nominate someone for a position, please complete the form in plain text

Nominees should note that positions on the APNIC Executive Council are
currently voluntary and that APNIC is not able to reimburse EC members
for their expenses. Nominees should also be familiar with the 
responsibilities of EC membership, which are also set out below.

If you have any questions, please free to contact APNIC Business
Manager, Kyoko Day <secretariat@apnic.net>.
