WHAT IS APANA^®?
The Australian Public Access Network Association Inc. (APANA^®) is a not-for-profit on-line computer networking organisation incorporated in the State of Victoria as A0026600C and ARBN 081 355 722.

APANA operates its own Intranet through which members can gain open access to the Internet at bulk rates if they wish, using local isps in their regions.  A region can exist in any part of any State or Territory of the Commonwealth of Australia, when sufficient APANA members reside there.

APANA membership is open to individuals and non-profit, non-government organisations. Access to the APANA network(tm) is available to members and their guests for personal, non-profit and non-commercial purposes. APANA membership does not in itself guarantee access to APANA's network.

CONTROL OF APANA
Government of APANA is in accordance with its Rules.

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.
