Dear Colleagues, a happy and successfull 1993 to you all! In 1992 it has happened more than once that an unsuspecting person sent a message which was intended for the RIPE chairpeople or the NCC to this whole list. Therefore we have decided that the name of the list for 1993 (and thereafter, funding permitting :-) shall be ripe-list@ripe.net and ripe@ripe.net will henceforth point to the duty mail person at the NCC. Any messages recieved here wich are clearly intended for the list will be forwarded of course. According to Internet custom the address for administrative requests concering the list is: ripe-list-request@ripe.net. The list is still unmoderated and we still encourage you to keep the volume of messages on this general list to a minimum by using more specific mailing lists where appropriate. To this end here is the list of current lists @ripe.net: chair RIPE chairpeople db-wg RIPE Database working group dns-wg DNS working group ip-provs List of IP service providers used exclusively to forward requests for service. local-ir Local Internet Registries maps-wg RIPE Mapping working group nidus-wg "Network Information Discovery and User Support" working group raec-wg "Relations between Academic, Educational and Commercial Networks" working group ripe-list the general RIPE mailing list ripe-op network operators ripe-org attendees of (past) RIPE meetings This list is included in ripe-list! routing-wg the Routing working group Again all the best for this year from the NCC.
