Last Call for Draft: NRO NC Election Process (v3)
by Mirjam Kuehne 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, Since version 2 of the Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC) Election Document was published [1], we received one suggestion for clarification. No other concerns or comments were submitted. Following this suggestion, we changed “last ” to “previous” in the following sentence: "Have attended (registered and checked-in for) at least one out of the previous eight RIPE Meetings." This is therefore a LAST CALL for comments for the final version of this document [2], to expire on Monday, 23 October at 06:00 UTC. At the same time, I would like to draw your attention to the call for nominations to fill two seats on the NRO NC that is still open until 30 October 2023. Kind regards, Mirjam ===== [1] Announcing Updated NRO NC Election Process (v2) https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/2023-September/002998.html [2] Updated NRO NC Election Process (v3) https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/draft… [3] NRO NC Nominations 2023: Call to Fill Two Seats https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/2023-September/003001.html

Results of the RIPE NCC Survey 2023 Now Available
by Fergal Cunningham 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

Dear all, The report on the RIPE NCC Survey 2023 is now available: https://www.ripe.net/survey The results of the survey give us an excellent overview of what our members and community think about important issues, and they will help us to improve our services and shape our strategy for the years ahead. The survey ran from May-June this year and was conducted by Survey Matters to ensure independent analysis and anonymity for respondents. 3,899 people from 93 countries answered 50 questions in ten languages, leaving over 12,000 detailed comments. Apart from guiding our work, the results can give members insights on their own work and the development of the Internet more generally. This was a fantastic response that reflects the diversity within our community. I would like to thank all of you who participated in the survey and shared your feedback on how we can improve. Survey Matters will present the results at the upcoming RIPE 87 Meeting in Rome. Soon after, we will publish a list of key findings that we will work on in the coming period to address the issues that were raised in the survey. We would also like to hear what you think of the results. So feel free to share your thoughts on the list or join the conversation on the RIPE NCC Forum: https://forum.ripe.net/t/insights-galore-the-ripe-ncc-survey-2023/717 If you have any questions or feedback about the survey, please let me know or contact us at <survey(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Head of Membership Engagement RIPE NCC

RIPE 87 Call for Local Hubs
by gpetrova 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, We want to help people who can't join the next RIPE Meeting in person to participate in a more engaging way. Would you like to set up a space for participants to meet in your city? If yes, organise a Local Hub! Local Hubs are in-person gatherings that take place in parallel to the RIPE Meeting. They allow registered participants to watch the webcast of the RIPE Meeting, follow the discussions and participate online via chat, audio, or video. Best of all, they can network with other community members from their country, experience the community spirit, and discuss topics from a local perspective. If you'd like to host one, you can also expand the programme to hold additional debates around topics of the RIPE Meeting of particular interest to the local participants. You can find more information at: https://ripe87.ripe.net/attend/call-for-local-hubs/ While you can decide to host a Local Hub at any time, if you let us know by Sunday, 5 November 2023, we will be able to add your Local Hub to a list online and provide you with more technical information promotion and support. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova Community Development Manager RIPE NCC
