As agreed at the last RIPE meeting a review of the first year of NCC operations as well as a review of the NCC activity plan will take place. The review board will consist of the RIPE chair, the RIPE WG chairpeople and the NCC manager. Any interested members of the RIPE community will also be invited to paricipate. The RIPE chair is going to announce this activity shortly. The local-ir WG has a problem here as the chairperson *is* the RIPE NCC manager. To avoid any possibilities of a conflict of interests I would appreciate if the local-ir group could agree on a different representative for this purpose. If you are prepared to represent the local-ir group in this, please identify yourself either to me or to the while group. Ragrads Daniel
