Dear all,

The APNIC EC has appointed Mr Tomohiro FUJISAKI to the NRO NC (and therefore to the ASO AC), effective immediately. The appointment will fill the position recently vacated by Mr Toshiyuki HOSAKA, for a term ending on 31 December 2008. Please join me in welcoming Fujisaki san to the Address Council. With this email I also request the help of the NRO secretariat in updating the NRO website and mailing lists, which I expect will take a day or so.

All the best,

Paul Wilson,
Director-General,
APNIC
