[Rigf_program] Definition of 'AP region'

[Adam Peake]

Hi

Please see <http://www.apnic.net/about-APNIC/organization/apnics-region>

The group decided to adopt the APNIC's definition of the region during
discussions at the end of last year.  I don't recall all what was said
now...

ICANN's region goes east to Iran. Other intergovernmental org
definitions include the pacific rim countries (from Canada/Alaska to
Chile).

I think this definition is quite logical and avoids duplication with
other IGFs rather than excludes, but I could be wrong.

Best,

Adam
