Dear members, In October, we will publish the Draft Activity Plan and Budget for 2025 ahead of the Autumn General Meeting. The document outlines our proposed activities for the coming year and how we plan to fund them. It’s a key opportunity for you to read our plans and help shape the direction of our organisation. Once the draft is published, we encourage you to share your feedback on the members-discuss mailing list. We will also host an Open House session where members can ask questions and discuss the draft with me, my team and the Executive Board. Open House: Draft Activity Plan and Budget 2025 Date: 9 October Time: 11:00 - 12:30 (UTC+2) Register: https://www.ripe.net/draft-activity-plan-open-house-2025 At the Open House, you will have the chance to provide direct feedback to the Executive Board and RIPE NCC Management. Afterwards, we will discuss the draft document during the General Meeting (GM), held alongside RIPE 89 on Wednesday, 30 October 2024. All feedback will be considered, and the final version will be published in December 2024. If you wish to attend or vote in the GM, you will need to register via the General Meeting section in my.ripe.net.
