Dear RIPE NCC members, We are pleased to share our Draft RIPE NCC Strategy 2027-2031, now available at: https://www.ripe.net/s/draft-strategy-consultation/ The publication of the draft strategy marks the beginning of the consultation phase with our members and community, so we invite you to review the document and share your feedback. Your input is essential in helping to shape the final strategy that will set our direction for the coming years. You can have your say and contribute to the draft strategy by: - Sharing your thoughts on the members-discuss@ripe.net or ncc-services-wg@ripe.net mailing lists - Sharing your input via our member consultation survey: https://www.ripe.net/s/draft-strategy-consultation-survey This consultation survey will allow you to easily give your guidance on member-related matters such as development of Registry services. The survey is not anonymous - you will need to sign in with your RIPE NCC Access account. We are holding an online session with the RIPE NCC leadership to discuss the draft strategy on 9 October. You can register for this Open House at: https://www.ripe.net/s/open-house/strategy-2027-2031/ We will also have discussions on the draft strategy at the upcoming RIPE 91 Meeting, which we encourage you all to participate in. However you choose to provide your input on our draft strategy, we hope you will do so in the coming weeks. We consider this to be our key governance document, establishing the framework that will guide all our work for years to come. So please take this opportunity to join our consultation and let us know what we can do to bring value to you and to the Internet. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Head of Membership Engagement RIPE NCC
