Dear RIPE NCC members, The RIPE NCC Strategy 2027-31 is now available. The document has been approved by the RIPE NCC Executive Board with input from our membership. This is the second five-year strategy that the RIPE NCC has published, with our previous strategy covering the years 2022-26. This strategy builds upon our existing vision, mission and values and sets the long-term direction for the organisation. The document explains RIPE NCC’s role in the Internet ecosystem, sets out six strategic focus areas for the coming five-year period and the external factors that influence our operating environment. It also covers objectives at the service-level that will guide the development of our services and operations. The plans for each year will be available in detail in the Activity Plan and Budget. The document is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-862/ Kind regards Hans Petter Holen CEO and Managing Director RIPE NCC
