Dear all, On Thursday this week, 9 October at 11:30 UTC, there will be an Open House where you can join online with RIPE NCC management to discuss our draft five-year strategy. This strategy will guide our work for the coming years, so getting your input at this stage of the process is very important. Our Managing Director, Hans Petter Holen, will present the draft strategy and then we will discuss it with our members and community. You can register for the Open House at: https://www.ripe.net/meetings/open-house/strategy-2027-2031/ All information on this consultation, including the draft strategy document, is available at: https://www.ripe.net/s/draft-strategy-consultation And we encourage all RIPE NCC members to take the short consultation survey, which asks some key questions that can help guide us in the right direction: https://www.ripe.net/s/draft-strategy-consultation-survey We will follow the Open House with presentations and a BoF at the upcoming RIPE 91 Meeting in Bucharest, so we encourage you to also take part in discussions there, whether in-person or online: https://ripe91.ripe.net/ Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Head of Membership Engagement RIPE NCC
