Dear members, The Draft RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2023 is now available as a PDF for your review at: https://www.ripe.net/draft-activity-plan-budget-2023 This is the clearest way that you can learn about our plans for next year and shape the direction we take as an organisation. We ask that you read it and share any feedback on <members-discuss at ripe.net>. Members can now comment on this draft document, after which it will be discussed at the General Meeting (GM) alongside RIPE 85 on Wednesday, 26 October 2022. The Executive Board will consider all feedback on our activities before publishing the final version in December 2022. Please note that if you want to participate or vote in the GM, you will need to register via the General Meeting section in my.ripe.net. You can find more information about the GM at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2022 Kind regards Hans Petter Holen Managing Director RIPE NCC
