RIPE NCC Annual Report 2011 - Options for Members
by Serge Radovcic 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Dear members, The RIPE NCC Annual Report 2011 will be published online on 21 March 2012. In previous years, all RIPE NCC members were sent a copy of the Annual Report by post. This year, members need to "opt in" if they wish to receive a copy of the Annual Report by post. Members who do not choose to opt in will not receive the Annual Report by post. It will, as always, be available for all members to read online. The RIPE NCC is implementing this opt-in system in response to feedback received from members in the RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011, the RIPE NCC General Meetings and various other feedback mechanisms. The goals of this initiative are to: - Reduce RIPE NCC costs - Be more environmentally friendly - Allow members to control their communication options If you wish to receive the Annual Report by post, you must opt in to do so by 29 February 2012. You can do this by using the Communication Preferences option in your LIR Portal account. Best regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC

RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2012 Published
by Nigel Titley 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Dear members, The RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) November 2011 saw valuable discussion regarding the RIPE NCC Budget 2012 and the RIPE NCC Activity Plan 2012. The minutes of that GM are now posted at: http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/ncc/gm/november-2011/minutes The Budget and Activity Plan are also published as RIPE Documents: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-544/at_download/pdf https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-543/at_download/pdf At the GM, the membership raised concerns regarding the Budget 2012 and rejected the proposed RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2012. In light of this, the Executive Board has reduced by 2% the Budget 2012 that was presented to members at the GM. Please note that this will not result in the reduction of any core services to members. Discussion of the Activity Plan at the GM centred on the lack of costs for services contained in that document. The revised Activity Plan 2012 now contains the costs for key services provided by the RIPE NCC. The Executive Board will work with the RIPE NCC's Senior Management to further develop the RIPE NCC Budget and Activity Plan, and to more closely align the two documents. We on the Executive Board, as always, welcome the feedback we receive from members on these issues. If you would like to comment on the Budget and Activity Plan, you can do so publicly on the Membership Discussion mailing list at <members-discuss(a)ripe.net>. You can also give your feedback directly to the Executive Board at <exec-board(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Nigel Titley RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman
