APANA is a national association, divided into regions. A national Management Committee, elected by all members annually, coordinates the association's activities, while each region is run by a Regional Committee, also elected annually by the region's members, which is responsible for day-to-day operations. From time to time the Management Committee authorises the issue of policy documents to govern connection to our Intranet and the Internet in general.
