This is to encourage you to register for the upcoming RIPE 29 meeting in Amsterdam (see http://www.ripe.net) at the end of January.
It is particularly important to have as many nTLD administrators present as possible for the Top-Level-Domain working group (TLD-WG) session.
So far, I've identified only one domain registry among those who have registered their participation in the meeting. Well done, Annie Renard! Yes, I myself have yet to follow your good example.
Me too :). Can only support Niall's recommendation. This will be an important meeting. We have two main topics in my point of view: 1. The stability of IANA, where we can hope to hear the latest news regarding negotiations between RIPE and IANA and 2. RIPE Council of European National TLD Registries (RIPE CENTR). This is the working title of a yet to-be-formed association, the one Jon Postel probably referes to in his second letter to us and the one RIPE seems to be silent to the grave about :). The RIPE'rs are probably still on holidays now they have so much money ...
