HI I have a question about the RIPE meetings. Due to the nature of the business we are all in at the moment (myself probably more than others ATM), would it not be possable the webcast the RIPE meetings allowing input from outside via phone, email, or other means. The reason i ask this is that the meetings are open to all IF and its a big IF you can attend the meeting in the exotic locations we have met in the past. I am not against the meetings moving about and a meeting in Amsterdam will be just as hard to get to for some one in North Africa as a meeting in North Africa for those in Amsterdam. What i am asking is could we make it more accessable to those who for what ever reason (ahem) can not make the meeting, otherwise it might not have the coverage and diversity of people having input. Just a thought. Regards, Stephen Burley WorldCom EMEA Hostmaster SB855-RIPE
