[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Survey 2013 is now online. You can take the survey at: https://www.ripe.net/survey2013 We ask that you take this very important survey for the RIPE NCC and the RIPE community, and that you encourage your colleagues and contacts to participate. This survey will allow us to assess our services and activities, identify areas for improvement, and help shape our strategy for the coming years. The survey is carried out by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), which guarantees anonymity for participants and independent assessment of results. It will remain open until 17 June 2013. The results will be presented at the RIPE 67 Meeting in Athens. There are no limits on who can take the survey. RIPE NCC members as well as other interested parties globally are asked to participate. If many people in the same organisation would like to take the survey, they are welcome to do so. The survey conducted in 2011 by the OII provided us with 52 key findings that the RIPE NCC was able to act on, and we hope this survey will provide similarly useful feedback. This is your chance to let the RIPE NCC know exactly what you think and give your suggestions for how the organisation should operate. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Prize Draws ----------- To encourage participation, the RIPE NCC is offering participants the chance to win an iPad if they complete the survey. The first prize was offered to those attending or remotely participating in the RIPE 66 Meeting in Dublin on 17 May. Congratulations to the winner, Brendan Minish. The next iPad will drawn from those who have completed the survey by 14:00 UTC next Monday, 27 May. If you complete the survey by then, you will be included in later prize draws, giving you more chances to win. If you have any questions about the survey, you can email us at <survey2013@ripe.net>. Best regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC
