1. APNIC

David Conrad reported APNIC midterm status [apnic-006].

A working definition for "Asia-Pacific" was discussed, and we agreed on the
following.  The eastern boundary of AP is obvious, and the western boundary of
AP is Central Asia and Middle East.  We agreed that the countries in RINSCA of
UNESCO/IIP Program are included in AP.  If a country in the AP region wants to
change her membership between Asia-Pacific and Europe by some reason, she can
choose to do so.

The project team proposed that the APNIC pilot project will be done as a
distributed operation, separating its major functions into
registration/directory/database services and information services [apnic-007].
The motivation for this separation is two-fold: to alleviate funding problem
and promote collaboration of the NIC community in the AP region.
In June 1994, it is expected that the APNIC pilot project will generate
"criteria document" on the working experience of regional NIC's distributed
operation, describing how the task can be separated and how the interface
of subfunctions can be defined.

Information services will try to organize general information by providing
"national entry point" for various information servers as well as traditional
information service like resource guide, network map, statistics, etc.

[Action Item]
        APCCIRN agreed that APNIC pilot project team proceed with distributed
        operations, and delegate 202 and 203 class C blocks from InterNIC for
        the "superblock" allocation for CIDR'ization.
