[ncc-announce] [GM] RIPE NCC Executive Board Open Houses: 16 and 17 May, 9:00 UTC (11:00 CEST)

Dear RIPE NCC members,

The RIPE NCC will hold two Open House events relating to the RIPE NCC 
Executive Board next week on 16 and 17 May. Both will last 90 minutes, 
and both will begin at 09:00 UTC (11:00 CEST).

Requirements and Expectations for RIPE NCC Executive Board Members and 
Candidates

The first of these sessions, on 16 May, will be an opportunity for 
members to discuss an issue noted at the 165th Board meeting held 
earlier this year: requirements for Board members and candidates. The 
Board discussed this issue during the meeting and decided that it wanted 
to explore it further with the membership whose interests it is charged 
with representing. More information on this issue and the Board’s 
discussion of it, as well as the registration link, can be found at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-open-house-requirements-and-expectations-for-board-members-and-candidates

Meet the Executive Board Candidates

The second session will be the traditional opportunity for Board 
candidates in the upcoming election to introduce themselves to the 
membership and explain why they are standing for election and answer any 
questions the members might have for them. Details of the candidates and 
the session can be found here:

If you plan to attend either of these events we ask that you please 
register at the URLs above. The meetings will be held via Meetecho, and 
all attendees wishing to speak will have the opportunity to do so. All 
those who register will receive a link to the Meetecho platform by email 
on the days of the Open Houses.

Register for the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM)

The election for three seats on the RIPE NCC Executive Board will take 
place at the upcoming GM from 24-26 May. All members are encouraged to 
register to attend and cast their votes for the candidates they think 
will best represent their interest on the Board.

There is also an Executive Board Candidates mailing list where you can 
ask questions of the candidates. You can subscribe to the mailing list from:
