Hi everyone,

As you will no doubt be aware, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, APRICOT 2021 has moved on-line.  It will still be hosted, as planned, by PhNOG, the Philippine Network Operator Group. The new format means a reduction in the schedule but retaining the high quality and high relevancy of the content offered over the years.

The APRICOT 2021 Programme Committee is responsible for the solicitation and selection of suitable presentation and tutorial content for the APRICOT 2021 conference (https://2021.apricot.net/).

The APRICOT PC Chairs are now seeking nominations from the community to join the APRICOT 2021 PC to assist with the development of the programme for APRICOT 2021.

Eligible PC candidates are those who have attended APRICOT conferences in the recent past, have broad technical knowledge of Internet operations, and have reasonable familiarity with the format of APRICOT conferences.  Having constructive opinions and ideas about how the programme content might be improved is of high value too.  PC members are expected to work actively to solicit content and review submissions for technical merit.  The PC meets by conference call, weekly in frequency during the three months prior to APRICOT.

If you are interested in joining the PC and meet the above eligibility criteria, please send a brief note to "pc-chairs at apricot.net".  The note should include affiliation (if any) and contact details (including e-mail address), and a brief description of why you would make a good addition to the PC.

The PC Chairs will accept nominations received by 17:00 UTC+8 on Monday 23rd November 2020, and will announce the new PC shortly thereafter.

Many thanks!
