The RIPE NCC Services WG will be holding an interim session on our cloud strategy on 28 July at 16:00 (UTC+2). If you would like to participate, you can find the details for this session here:

-- SEE 9 Meeting
The RIPE NCC together with the SEE Programme Committee have decided that the SEE 9 Meeting will take place as a virtual meeting with a reduced programme on 28 September 2021. The situation around COVID-19 is still too uncertain and the risks appear too great to justify a physical meeting. Updates on the meeting format, registration and programme will be posted closer to the date on this mailing list and on the SEE 9 website: 
https://www.ripe.net/see-9


Thank you for reading to the end. We’ll be back next month with more news!

Best regards,
Kjerstin
