Dear colleagues, The deadline for making nominations for the RIPE NCC Executive Board election has passed. There are four confirmed candidates: - Dmitry Burkov - Amir Mohsenian - Piotr Strzyżewski - János Zsakó The election is to fill two seats and will take place at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM), which takes place from 13-15 May 2015. The agenda has been updated to reflect the fact that an election will take place. The agenda also contains the four resolutions that the membership will be asked to vote on at the GM. https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2015/agenda-genera... The RIPE NCC Executive Board strongly encourages all RIPE NCC members to register for the GM and exercise their voting rights. The Executive Board believes that the decisions made at the GM should reflect the wishes of as many RIPE NCC members as possible. This overview explains how members can register to attend in person or participate and cast their votes remotely: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2015/participation... All information about the meeting, including the supporting documentation and the submitted Executive Board candidate biographies, are available from the GM pages: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2015 We look forward to your participation in this important meeting for the RIPE NCC membership.
