Budget

Ms.Pensri presented the AP Joint sec budget for year 2001-2002.
Regarding this budget, few participants raised the issue that first we
need to think that , Do we still need AP* secretariat- might be merged to APNG?
And what kind of services AP joint sec is providing to members? If we will ask
the membership fee to cover the cost of AP Joint sec expenses they might ask this question.
We needs a bylaws and structure first and then we have to provide information tha
t what kind of services we could provide to our members..

There was an other issue that what about AP* Retreat?

Paul Wilson said that AP* is just a meeting, which could also be an APNG event.
It is an event, an organizer, have a content chair, etc seen as an APNG meeting,
AP* in event management, current secretariat group could be organize events,
possibly AP Outreach without taking responsibility for the strategy from AP outreach group.
Right now APNIC has challenge to organize training events twice a month. This is a
heavy load on our training team. We are looking for some outsource to the group
who can help us with management. And we think that AP Joint sec could handle this
as outsource group for APNIC.
Paul said that APJS should not be an organization of its own.
it should be seen as a service organization or Co, with BoD.

Bk Kim informed the participants that he is working on AP Joint sec by
laws and they are also working on documentation to register it as legal
cooperative. Hopefully process will finish in this coming may.

Board Election

There was issue on Board members election but due to these issues
elecstion were postpone .Participants were agreed that we will discuss this
again in AP* Retreat this afternoon and we will ask the participants for their
opinion to finalize it. And then we can have other meeting today evening or in
may be next time with AP* Retreat to discuss the possibility to run secretariat as organization.
