[ncc-announce] [GM] Supporting Documents for RIPE NCC General Meeting May 2019

Dear RIPE NCC members,

The supporting documents for the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) May 2019
are now finalised and published at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2019/supporting-documents

The documents include:
- The RIPE NCC Annual Report 2018
- The RIPE NCC Financial Report 2018
- RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2020 - Options Overview
- RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2020 - Option A
- RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2020 - Option B
- Proposed Amendments to the RIPE NCC Articles of Association
- Proposed Amendment to the RIPE NCC Standard Service Agreement

Two of the documents relating to the Charging Scheme 2020 (the overview
and Option B) have been updated since they were published on 17 April to
give more background and add clarity. The Executive Board has been
following discussions on the Members Discuss mailing list
(members-discuss at ripe.net) and encourages members to continue discussion
there. There will be a presentation and further discussion on the
Charging Scheme options at the GM on 22 May before members are asked to
vote on their preferred option.

The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association would change the
procedure currently in place to challenge the verdict at a GM.

The proposed amendment to the SSA would allow those submitting the
document to do so by uploading a scanned copy to the RIPE NCC.

The draft agenda containing all the resolutions to be voted on is also
available at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2019/agenda

I would also like to remind you that there will be an election at the GM
to fill two seats on the RIPE NCC Executive Board. There are currently
five confirmed candidates. The deadline to nominate candidates is next
Wednesday, 1 May 2019 at 23:59 UTC. All the details are available at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2019/executive-board-elections

Finally, I ask that you all register to participate in this important
meeting for the RIPE NCC and its membership. Full remote participation
options are available for members who cannot attend in person, including
webcast, live chat and electronic voting. Registration can be completed
quickly and easily via the LIR Portal:

Axel Pawlik
Managing Director
