Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC commissioned the market research firm TNS NIPO to carry out the Membership Survey 2008 on its behalf from 17 September - 25 November 2008. The purpose of the survey was to give the RIPE NCC's membership a formal opportunity to voice opinions on the services provided by the RIPE NCC, and to give constructive input to help us plan development of our services. There were a total of 771 respondents to the survey. The results of the survey, as well as a synopsis of the results, are now available and can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/membership/survey/ I wish to thank the members of the community who provided valuable feedback. I look forward to discussing the survey and results at the upcoming RIPE 58 Meeting in Amsterdam from 4-8 May 2009. I also wish to thank TNS NIPO for conducting a professional and insightful analysis of our membership. Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
