[ncc-announce] [news] RIPE NCC Consultations Report 2015

Dear colleagues,

>From November 2014 to January 2015, the RIPE NCC enlisted independent
consultants to carry out interviews with RIPE NCC members and other
interested parties in the RIPE community. The aim of these consultations
was to check on our progress since the RIPE NCC Survey 2013 and to
identify issues that our community would like us to address.

The RIPE NCC Consultations Report 2015, which was prepared by the
independent consultants, is available at:
https://www.ripe.net/consultations-report-2015

34 people from 12 countries took part in the consultations, and we thank
them for their participation. Interviews took place at the RIPE 69
Meeting in London, several interviews took place via web conference, and
there were three physical meetings at locations in Europe. We thank the
organisations that provided us with facilities for the physical meetings
at no cost.

We recognise the importance of having independent consultants carry out
this work to ensure anonymity for participants' and to ensure that
feedback is reported objectively.

The consultations reinforce our commitment to constantly monitor the
status and needs of our service region. We believe the input we receive
is essential to improving our services for members and for the wider
community.

The RIPE NCC Executive Board will publish a response to the issues
raised during the consultations. If you would like to share your opinion
on the issues raised in the report, please respond to this mail or
contact the Executive Board directly at <exec-board at ripe.net>.

Kind regards,

Serge Radovcic
Chief Communications Officer
RIPE NCC
