RE: [Wg-rms] Stepping down from co-chair role

["Tim Jones" <tim@iseek.com.au>]

Hi,

I'll go first then shall I:)

My main interest is in regards to point 1 below. 

I think deprecating email updates would be a very bad idea. 

Many members currently use "home brewed" IP management systems which
rely on email updates. Deprecating these would mean costly and time
consuming rewrites of these systems, which to be quite frank, are
probably very low on the list of priorities for most small/medium ISPs
these days.

If other RIRs are able to provide email updates, I don't see why APNIC
can't continue to. 

MyAPNIC is already there for those who are concerned about security. I
see no reason to spend money duplicating this functionality through
other systems, whilst at the same time removing an existing system which
is heavily relied upon by the "little guys".

Cheers,
Tim.
