Main Items
-------------------------------

- The Board discussed the agenda of the upcoming General Meeting in detail.

The Board acknowledged the depth of feeling from members on the Charging Scheme discussion. The Board agreed that members would be asked to vote on the Board’s Charging Scheme proposal as usual, and the member proposal would be added to the GM agenda as a topic for discussion without an attached resolution to vote on.

- The topic of future-proofing the structure and funding model of the RIPE NCC was discussed by the Board.

Board member Remco van Mook will lead a discussion at RIPE 88 at a BoF titled “Building a Stable Future for the RIPE NCC”. Remco detailed the purpose of the BoF, stating the need for considering the bigger picture about how to move the RIPE NCC forward. Remco will report on the outcomes of the BoF at both the General Meeting on 22 May and at the Community Plenary on 23 May.

RIPE Chair Mirjam Kühne explained she was thinking about this from the RIPE community perspective and would present high-level thoughts in a RIPE Labs article and discuss the issue at the Community Plenary.

Kind regards,
Hans Petter Holen
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
