Dear contributors, I'd like to thank all of you who have taken the time to attend yesterday's meeting or to contribute messages about the issues. The adoption of both the activities & expenditure and the charging scheme is a vote of confidence that all of us at the RIPE NCC appreciate. We will do our best to honour the trust you have in us. Also the process of incorporating as an independent organisation is progressing. Especially I'd like to thank all those people who have offered to serve on the executive board of RNA. Thanks to your contribution the meeting had a good slate of both highly qualified and well respected candidates to choose from. I must conclude that my worries of 'RIPE NCC in Danger' were just that - worries; I am happy about that. Regards Daniel Karrenberg RIPE Community Member RIPE NCC Manager PS: Detailed minutes of the meeting will be published as soon as possible after the RIPE meeting.
