Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC General Meeting was held Wednesday, 6 May 2009, adjacent to the RIPE 58 Meeting at the Krasnapolsky Hotel in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The meeting agenda included an election to fill one RIPE NCC Executive Board seat for a three-year term. Dmitry Burkov was elected by the membership to retain his seat on the Executive Board. There were 82 attendees, excluding RIPE NCC staff and observers from the other Regional Internet Registries. In addition to the Executive Board election, the RIPE NCC members approved two resolutions. The RIPE NCC 2008 Audited Financial Report was approved. And the RIPE NCC Executive Board was discharged with regard to its actions as set out in the 2008 Annual Report. The RIPE NCC would like to thank its membership for the input and support given at the General Meeting and congratulates our newly elected Executive Board member. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
