by Fergal Cunningham 24 May '19

24 May '19

Dear RIPE NCC members, The RIPE NCC Survey 2019 is now online. https://www.ripe.net/survey We ask you to take part in this important survey for the RIPE NCC and the RIPE community. We also ask that you encourage your colleagues and contacts to participate – the more feedback we get, the better we can do. This year, we made some changes that we hope will encourage people to get involved. We: 1. Made it shorter (most people will take less than ten minutes) 2. Translated the survey into eight languages: Arabic, Farsi, French, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Turkish 3. Added a functionality to allow you to print your questionnaire at the end of the survey We invite everyone to take the survey. This is your chance to let us know exactly what you think and give your suggestions for how the organisation should operate. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Prize Draws ----------- To encourage participation, we are are giving you the chance to win an iPad when you complete the survey. Survey Matters will facilitate the iPad draws and they will take place: - Thursday, 30 May - Thursday, 6 June - Thursday, 13 June - Thursday, 20 June - Thursday, 27 June The earlier you fill out the survey, the more chances you will have to win a prize. If you complete the survey today, you will have five chances to win a prize. If you have any questions about the survey, you can email us at <survey(a)ripe.net>. You have until 30 June 2019 to participate. Remember, 10 minutes can make a big difference. Best regards, Fergal Cunningham Marketing and Communications Manager RIPE NCC
