Some observations
• Those who interact with APNIC regularly by emails or who are unable to attend APNIC Conferences are able to meet APNIC staff
• This allows APNIC Members and the wider Internet community to provide direct feedback on APNIC services for continual improvement
• Those who know very little of APNIC’s missions and services are better informed
• Participants use the occasion to exchange information and share common issues they are facing
• This is also a great opportunity to discuss ideas face-to-face, or problems that are difficult to communicate by emails
