Dear ENUM colleagues, it is with great regret that I have to inform you that unfortunately I cannot attend the upcoming RIPE 57 meeting in Dubai due to work related issues: as you may or may not know, I joined Telnic, the registry for the TLD .tel, in July this year - and we have a major deadline to meet by the beginning of December, therefore all my time is needed for this at the moment. The good news in the bad news is that back then the ENUM WG wisely opted to have two Co-Chairs: Niall O'Reilly will be in Dubai and chair the WG session in his unimitable ways - my inability to attend will have no detrimental effects on the WG session. So I wish you all a successful session and a likewise meeting in general - and enjoy the hospitality of RIPE 57's hosts. I'll see you all again at RIPE 58 then. Best regards, Carsten Schiefner RIPE ENUM EG Co-Chair
