Dear RIPE NCC members, Deadlines are approaching for the General Meeting in October. If you would like to submit a proxy vote or an agenda proposal, please do so by Wednesday, 8 October 2025. You can find all the details you need at: https://www.ripe.net/s/gm/oct-2025/ Later this week, we will also send a personalised reminder to members who have not yet registered. If you haven’t registered, please look out for this and take a moment to do so. We strongly encourage all members to make use of their voting rights and the GM arena to ask questions and discuss key topics. Your participation helps ensure the outcomes of the GM reflect the views of the entire membership. The GM is also a chance to connect with other members, whether in person in Bucharest or by joining online. Participants can use Meetecho for Q&A and chat, follow the livestream and cast their vote using the online voting platform. All links will be sent on the first day of the General Meeting: Wednesday, 22 October 2025. Two important documents will be presented at the General Meeting: - Draft Strategy 2027-2031 - Draft Activity Plan and Budget 2026 To prepare, we are hosting two Open Houses where members can discuss these drafts directly with the RIPE NCC leadership ahead of the GM: Open House: Draft Activity Plan and Budget 2026 Thursday, 2 October 2025, 11:30-13:00 UTC Register at: https://www.ripe.net/s/open-house/Draft-Activity-Plan-and-Budget-2026/ Open House: Draft Strategy 2027-2031 Thursday, 9 October 2025, 11:30-13:00 UTC Register at: https://www.ripe.net/s/open-house/strategy-2027-2031/ If you have any questions about the General Meeting, we’re here to help - you can email agm@ripe.net.
