Dear Colleagues, As announced in the RIPE NCC Activity Plan 2004, the RIPE NCC will launch an updated version of the www.ripe.net website. The new version of the site will be released on Wednesday, 13 October 2004. The new site has been redesigned to better meet the needs of RIPE NCC members and others in the Internet community. The new website provides enhanced access to RIPE NCC information and resources. A clearer structure, simplified navigation and improved search functions make finding RIPE NCC and RIPE information easier than before. While occasional users of the site will benefit from the improved navigation menus, more frequent visitors will benefit from the "Quick Links" menu for fast access to frequently used pages. If you experience any problems using the new website or if you have any suggestions, please contact the RIPE NCC at <feedback@ripe.net>. Regards, Paul Rendek Head of Member Services and Communications RIPE NCC
