Request for Proposals To
Operate APTLD Secretariat

01 July 2004

APTLD invites interested
organisations (APTLD members or non-members) and individuals to submit
proposal to operate APTLD Secretariat.

Since 2000, APTLD has
maintained a professional secretariat as a focal point to provide support for
APTLD and its activities, and respond to all inquiries concerning APTLD. In
addition, the secretariat is responsible for carrying out promotional and
educational outreach program to Asia Pacific ccTLDs and regional /global
Internet organisations. The current APTLD Secretariat is operated and
sponsored by TWNIC, an APTLD founding member, whose term ends by the end of
2004. The APTLD Board is, therefore, calling for proposals to operate the
APTLD Secretarial for a two year term from 1 January 2005 to 31 December
2006.

A guideline of
“Request for Proposal to Operate APTLD Secretariat” is
outlined in this document providing information on:
