Assalamualaikum,

As Mr. Tariq posted on the list, that we are going to have a meeting on Saturday 10th August 2002. Where Basit is going to give the first presentation on "IPv6".

I think the starting timing should be from 7:30 or 8PM.

Pls finalize about this, as it should be finalized by tomorrow, otherwise we would be late to announce it. As happened with our KU seminar.

-Meraj

The time of special meeting on 10th August 2002 is 8.00pm

Please try to reach early / on time as we will not wait as Mr Abdul Basit has some other engagements and we wish to derive maximum benefit from his presence.

Mr Abdul Basit will give a brief presentation on IPv6 and then he will talk on importance of learning about IPv6 NOW from the prespective of a Pakistani. Why we must not miss the boat this time again as we did in past.

He will devote most of his time in answering your question about IPv6 that you may have. You are welcome to pose any question as long you can link it with IPv6

Please do take some time out and read some thing about IPv6 before you come and think of some questions from the prespective of a Pakistani.

Meetings are organised by members. Ask the list if anyone is interested in attending a meeting in Islamabad then organise!

Karachi chapter has an 'adda' thanks to Mr Tariq. You may want to start off by holding a meeting in your favourite restaurant.
