Dear colleagues, The nomination period for one seat on the Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC) closed on 30 September 2026, following a call for nominations that opened on 30 July 2026. One nominee has been confirmed: Hervé Clément, who currently holds the seat. As this seat is filled by appointment rather than election, there will be no community vote. The RIPE NCC Executive Board will now review the nomination and decide on the appointment for the three-year term, running from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029. The Board's decision will be announced by 30 October 2026. You can view expressions of support for Hervé Clément and find further information about the process on the NRO NC Nominations 2026 page: https://www.ripe.net/community/nro-nc/nro-nc-nominations-october-2026/ Best, Boris Duval RIPE NCC
