Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the launch of the new RIPE NCC Membership Application Form. The new application process was created based on the feedback we received from newly-joined RIPE NCC members and from the RIPE NCC Survey 2013. Drawing on user experiences, we have been working to streamline the process of joining the RIPE NCC. The new application form offers a much more intuitive user experience. It also collects all information needed to apply for and subsequently manage RIPE NCC accounts, meaning that new members do not need to come back for assistance before requesting Internet number resources. If you or your contacts are interested in joining the RIPE NCC, the application form is available at: https://my.ripe.net/#/public/membership As always, we welcome your feedback on the new process and invite you to send comments to us at <new-account@ripe.net>. Kind regards, Laura Cobley RIPE NCC
