Dear Colleagues, We are seeking volunteers from the region to form the new RIPE NCC Regional Meeting Russia Program Committee. The program committee will assist the RIPE NCC in developing the meeting agenda by using its unique knowledge of what issues are important, timely and relevant for the local Internet community. In addition, the program committee will propose topics for the meeting and invite key players in the local and global Internet industry to present or take part in panel discussions. This is the first time we have tried this initiative. To continue to build interesting and exciting meeting agendas, it's important for us to work with volunteers that represent all corners of this diverse and geographically spread region. If you would like to volunteer for this role or would like more information about it, please send an email to <meeting@ripe.net>. The next RIPE NCC Regional Meeting in Russia will take place at the Marriott Grand Hotel in Moscow on 29 September - 01 October 2010. For more information about the RIPE NCC Regional Meetings, please see: http://www.ripe.net/meetings/regional/moscow-2010/index.html Regards, Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC
