[apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, On Monday, 26 June 2006, we will replace the existing local-ir@ripe.net and the ncc-co@ripe.net membership announcement lists with one new list: ncc-announce@ripe.net. The new list will carry RIPE NCC announcements intended for our membership. The purpose of this change is to reduce duplicate e-mails and streamline the flow of communication with our members. All Local Internet Registries (LIRs) are currently subscribed to local-ir@ripe.net and ncc-co@ripe.net. All subscriptions to these lists will be moved to the new ncc-announce@ripe.net list. Many LIRs use a local mail exploder or similar method for internally distributing e-mails from the RIPE NCC. Please make sure e-mails from ncc-announce@ripe.net will be delivered to the LIR contacts within your company. The local-ir@ripe.net and ncc-co@ripe.net lists will be closed down on Monday, 26 June 2006. More information about the current membership announcement lists can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/membership/lists.html If you have any questions, please e-mail us at: contact@ripe.net Kind Regards, Paul Rendek Head of Member Services and Communications RIPE NCC
