Hi everyone, If any of you are starting to plan your late August travel, please think about joining us at the APNIC 36 Conference, being held in Xi'an, China (home of the Terracotta Warriors). The Programme Committee would like your help. We are still on the look out for presentations and tutorial proposals of technical/operational relevance, with the technical sessions running from Monday 26th through to Thursday 29th August. The first round of paper acceptances closes at the end of today, and submissions received between tomorrow and 12th August will be reviewed on a first come first served basis. Please submit your proposal now to avoid disappointment: http://conference.apnic.net/36/program. And if you are planning to come to Xi'an, once you have submitted your presentation proposal, please register for the conference (http://conference.apnic.net/36/register) and book your hotel room now (http://conference.apnic.net/36/travel) - late August is busy holiday season and there are not many hotel rooms left! Thanks! Philip Smith/Mark Tinka/Dean Pemberton For the APNIC 36 PC --
