Dear DB-WG subscribers! We expect the next RIPE Meeting (RIPE51 @ AMS) to be structured very much like RIPE50 (aka the "new format" :-) At the end of August 05, the Chair of RIPE and the meeting planners, together with the WG chairs, would like to review (the better part of) the EOF/Plenary Stream contributions. In order to avoid being paralized by many people being out of office during summer, I'd like to distribute this call for presentations for the Plenary from the DB-WG environment. If you intend to offer a presentation, or would like to see a particular presentation at RIPE51, please spaek up now - either to me directly or to the WG list. This is just an early warning, please expect a formal call for contributions. Thanks, and have a nice summer and relaxing vaction period! Wilfried.
