At its meeting in January, RIPE undertook to provide training for new registries and to begin preparing the necessary materials. The NCC is now working on this and would much appreciate ideas from people in the Local IR group for topics to be included. To get the ball rolling, some possibilities are included below. Remember, at this stage it's just suggestions of topics that are needed. When that part of the exercise is complete, we'll start looking for content under each topic heading. Many thanks.
