Dear RIPE NCC member,
In compliance with the RIPE NCC Articles of Association (AoA), the RIPE
NCC is calling for nominations to the RIPE NCC Executive Board.
There will be an election for two vacant seats at the RIPE NCC General
Meeting (GM) on 13-15 May 2015, which are for three-year terms.
One seat is to fill the place currently held by Dmitry Burkov, whose
term expires in May 2015. A second seat is available following the
membership's approval of a resolution to expand the Executive Board in
October 2013.
The document outlining the RIPE NCC Executive Board functions and
expectations is available:
