Dear colleagues,

The RIPE 77 Meeting in Amsterdam came to a successful end last Friday.
I'd like to thank all of you that took part in the meeting on site and
remotely.

It was the biggest RIPE Meeting ever with 800 attendees checked in from
64 countries (and 228 of those first-time attendees).

According to the audience ratings, favourite presentations included Sara 
Dickinson's stellar (and slightly) scary look at the recent evolutions 
of end-device DNS resolution, an update on BGP policy by Job Snijders, 
and my presentation during the Opening Plenary (well, thanks very much 
for that!).

We also heard a lot of great feedback about our various diversity 
initiatives at the RIPE Meetings, including on-site childcare and the 
Women in Tech (WiT) Lunch. We are working to make the WiT Lunch a more 
prominent part of the meeting for RIPE 78.
