Dear Colleagues,
At the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) October 2009 in Lisbon, the RIPE
NCC Articles of Association were amended, and approved, to allow for
electronic voting for the RIPE NCC Executive Board elections.
At the upcoming GM in Prague, Czech Republic on 5 May 2010, the RIPE NCC
Executive Board elections will, for the first time, allow remote
attendees to vote electronically in the elections for the Executive
Board seats. Those attending the GM on site can vote using the
traditional paper ballot method.
The RIPE NCC has engaged BigPulse, a third party that specialises in
web-based voting solutions, to conduct the poll.
Today, 6 April 2010, you will receive an email from the RIPE NCC
inviting you to register for electronic voting with the BigPulse system.
You should follow the instructions in the invitation email if you wish
to register for electronic voting.
The deadline to register for electronic voting is 21 April 2010.
The voting procedure, for those voting on site and for those voting
electronically, is outlined in the following document:
http://www.ripe.net/membership/gm/gm-may2010/elections/voting-procedure.html
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are available on the electronic voting
procedure to answer questions that you might have on electronic voting:
http://www.ripe.net/membership/gm/gm-may2010/elections/voting-faq.html
We have also created a demonstration video that guides you through the
steps that you need to follow in order to register for electronic voting:
