ADNA invites any interested parties to attend a Public Consultation Session
from 1.00 to 2.00 pm on 30 April 1998, prior to an ADNA Board Meeting, at
the Melbourne offices of the ACCC.
The venue will be the ACCC Public Hearing Room on Level
35, 360 Elizabeth St. The meeting will be chaired by Luke Carruthers,
acting Chairman of ADNA, and it will be attended by all the ADNA Directors
able to attend the Board meeting following it.

Note that observers from ISOC-AU, AVCC, ACCC and NOIE have been invited to
both this session and also to the ADNA Board meeting. 

The motivation for the public consultation session, which arose in response
to a suggestion on this mailing list, is to enable  those wishing to
influence ADNA policies and decisions to provide inputs to the ADNA
Directors before the Board meeting. (Note to Sydney-siders - the ADNA Board
meetings have been regularly alternating between Sydney and Melbourne.)

I append below the agenda for the afternoon Board meeting.

Peter Gerrand
Secretary, ADNA
