    22nd APNIC Open Policy Meeting
    4-8 September 2006
    Kaohsiung, Taiwan


Dear colleagues

Are you aware that APNIC meetings are changing format? APNIC
22 has an
innovative programme showcasing presentations on operational
Internet
issues. Two new types of sessions will be added to the APNIC
22
programme on Wednesday 6 September 2006:

   * APOPS (Asia Pacific OPeratorS Forum)

     Previously a BoF, APOPS will now showcase Internet
operational
     content of wide interest to the community. Most of
Wednesday's
     programme will consist of APOPs sessions.

   * Lightning talks

     Lightning talks are a chance for the community to
discuss Internet
     issues and trends that emerge in the weeks before APNIC
22.

Policy proposals will be discussed in the appropriate SIG
sessions on
Thursday 7 September 2006. Tutorials, Birds of a Feather
(BoF) sessions,
hostmaster consultations, the APNIC Member Meeting (AMM),
and social
events will continue to be a part of the APNIC meeting
programme.

to convey
                          information to the audience.
