Dear RIPE NCC members, The voting period for the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) is extended to Wednesday, 23 May at 09:00 UTC+2. The extension period takes into account the weekend followed by a public holiday in a number of RIPE NCC service region countries. Due to a miscommunication regarding the voting period sent to registered voters, the Executive Board has decided to extend this voting period to next Wednesday, 23 May at 09:00 UTC+2 to ensure that all registered members have the opportunity to cast their votes. This only applies to those members that have already registered to vote. Please note, no new registrations can be accepted. Votes that have already been cast are valid. Those who have already cast their votes can not do so again. The paper ballots have been added to the electronic voting system in accordance with the process I described in the GM, under the supervision of independent scrutineers. Because the voting period is still open, results cannot be calculated until the system is officially closed on 23 May. The above was formally reported at the GM on Friday, 18 May 2018. This can be viewed online at https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2018/webstream The results will be announced via webstream on 23 May at 10:45 UTC+2 by the Chairman of the RIPE NCC Executive Board. The webstream will be available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2018/webstream We will email all members with the results next Wednesday. Again, we thank you for your participation in the GM. Best regards, Nigel Titley Chairman of the RIPE NCC Executive Board
