Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the RIPE NCC's Activity Plan and Budget 2015 is now available. This definitive document has been approved by the RIPE NCC Executive Board with input from the RIPE community. It outlines the work we will undertake in the coming year and the associated costs for each activity. The document is available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-630 Changes have been made since the draft Activity Plan was introduced in September, prior to the last RIPE NCC General Meeting. In order to make members aware of all updates, a new appendix has been added to the document, outlining the changes introduced. These changes include the following updates: - The usage statistics provided for each activity have been updated with more current information. - Minor editorial changes have been made to the text. - The income from new LIRs has increased as a result of increased membership growth. - The Latest Estimate (LE) column in the budget for the 2014 financial year has been updated with the current and, therefore, more accurate information. The Activity Plan and Budget 2015 was discussed at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) on 5 November 2014. The minutes of that GM have been approved by the Executive Board and are now available at: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/ncc/gm/november-2014/minutes-ripe-ncc-gene... Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
