This is an FYI only... The first meeting of the South Asia Network Operators Group (SANOG) will take place alongside ITConference2003 (http://www.itconference.org.np/) in Kathmandu, Nepal on 23rd-27th January 2003. Its aimed at ISPs and Network Operators in the South Asia region, basically encompassing the Indian subcontinent and neighbouring countries. SANOG doesn't quite yet have a website, but hopefully this isn't too far off. This is the first attempt to create such an operators group in this part of Asia; if anyone is interested in supporting this new NOG, please feel free to contact Gaurab Raj Upadhaya <gaurab@lahai.com> who is organising the event. philip --
