Dear Colleagues, RIPE 44 is only a few weeks away. If you have not registered yet, please make sure to do this using our secure website <https://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/mtgreg>. Which Working Group sessions shall I attend? Please visit our website to get an impression of our General Meeting Plan which can be found at <www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/current/ripe-44/meeting-plan.html>.
