HOW TO VOTE
The GM will use a third-party online voting platform, Assembly Voting. Electronic voting now requires two-factor authentication and voters will receive two emails - one with Voting Code 2 (identical to the GM registration number) and one with Voting Code 1 (pre-filled) and a link to the voting platform. Once voting is open, all eligible voters with a link can access the voting pages and cast their vote.

RESOLUTIONS TO BE VOTED ON
There is one resolution on the redistribution of the RIPE NCC surplus and one resolution on amendments to the Articles of Association. The Executive Board is recommending that members vote No to resolution 1 so that the surplus is added to the RIPE NCC reserves, and Yes to the Articles of Association amendments. 

All resolutions can be found at:

PARTICIPATING IN THE GM
You need to register to participate in the GM. If you are attending in person, don't forget to check in and pick up your GM badge at the registration desk after you are registered. You will need this to be able to enter the GM. You can already do this, and we advise you to pick up your GM badge as early as possible. 

All registered attendees will receive an email before the GM with the link to the virtual meeting platform. The link to vote in the GM will be sent during the GM and voting will become active after the Chair declares voting open.
