last call for RIPE 65 talks
by Filiz Yilmaz 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Dear Colleagues, Please note that there is relatively short amount of time before RIPE 65 takes place in Amsterdam during 24-28 September 2012. RIPE PC will meet to finalize the Plenary schedule next week to appear in the meeting agenda. If you have not yet submitted a talk and would like to, we suggest you do that in the next couple of days, so then we can evaluate it in our final meeting. If you have submitted a talk but it has a pending status, because you are requested to submit slides or provide further information, please make sure you also get back to us within the next couple of days. Thank you for your attention to this *last call* announcement. Filiz Yilmaz on behalf of RIPE PC
