Dear Colleagues, at the last RIPE meeting we decided that a review of the first year of operations of the RIPE NCC should take place. It was also decided that the review panel would initially consist of: o the RIPE Chairs o the RIPE WG Chairs o the RIPE NCC Manager The review is open to any RIPE participant, but the above mentioned persons are explicitly tasked to do some work. The work will consist in evaluating the first 12 months of operations of the RIPE NCC. In order to do this in a structured way, the following documents serve as mandatory reading material: o ripe-35 RIPE NCC Activity Plan o ripe-62 RIPE NCC Quarterly report Issue 1 o ripe-73 RIPE NCC Quarterly report Issue 2 o ripe-79 RIPE NCC Quarterly report Issue 3 o ripe-87 RIPE NCC Quarterly report Issue 4 The result of this exercise will be a report stating o which activities have been succesfully implemented o which activities are behind schedule o which activities have been taken up, though they were not foreseen in the original activity plan o conclusions The intended time schedule for this work is to have a report ready by the end of June. In order to facilitate an orderly discussion, a distribution list has been created at the RIPE NCC: ncc-review@ripe.net To be put on the list, send mail to ncc-review-request@ripe.net Thank you for your cooperation, greetings, Rob Blokzijl
