[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, We are delighted to report that the RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011, which closed on 18 June, received 1,266 responses. These responses will be extremely important in finding out the views of RIPE NCC members and other stakeholders on the direction the RIPE NCC should be taking as an organisation. An independent third party, the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), will conduct the analysis of the survey data. Any information that may identify the respondents will be removed by the OII and will not be made available to the RIPE NCC or published in the report. The results of the survey will be presented at the RIPE 63 Meeting, which takes place in Vienna, Austria from 31 October - 4 November 2011. ============ iPad winners ============ To encourage participation in the survey, the RIPE NCC offered five iPads to respondents. We would like to congratulate the following five people, who were randomly drawn by the OII as the winners of the iPads. - James Blessing, Limelight Networks - Bror-Erik Karlsson, Anvia Registry - David Alldritt, Highnet - Abdullah Alzaher, Arabcircle Internet Services - Sergey Sysoev, Tomsk Polytechnic University We would like to thank all those who took the time to participate in this crucial survey for the RIPE NCC.

RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011
by Axel Pawlik 06 May '11

06 May '11

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to participate in the RIPE NCC Membership and Stakeholder Survey 2011. The survey is now available and can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/survey2011 This survey will be used by the RIPE NCC to assess its current service offering and shape its strategy for the years ahead. The RIPE NCC carries out these large-scale surveys every three years. They are extremely important in finding out the views of RIPE NCC members on the direction the RIPE NCC should be taking as an organisation. For the first time, the RIPE NCC is also asking for feedback from stakeholders, other than RIPE NCC members, in its service region. These people are engaged in areas relevant to the work of the RIPE NCC and, as such, their opinion is also of value. An independent third party, the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), will conduct the analysis of the data. Any information that may identify the respondent will be removed by the OII and will not be made available to the RIPE NCC or published in the report. Anonymity is completely assured. Please participate in this important survey before the closing date of 10 June 2011. The survey should take 15-20 minutes to complete. To encourage participation and early response, the RIPE NCC will give one iPad to an "early bird" responder, chosen at random by the OII, who completes the survey by 16 May. There will be four more iPads, also chosen at random, from all valid responses received by the closing date. The closing date for the survey is 10 June 2011. We thank you in advance for your contribution. Kind regards, Desiree Miloshevic On behalf of the Oxford Internet Institute and Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
