<div dir="ltr">Dear RIPE NCC members, This is a reminder that we will hold an Open House event for members to meet the RIPE NCC Executive Board candidates this Wednesday, 15 May 2024. The Open House is taking place online from 09:00 - 10:30 UTC (11:00 - 12:30 CEST). *Meet the Executive Board Candidates* This is an opportunity for Board candidates in the upcoming election to introduce themselves to the membership and explain why they are standing for election. It is also an opportunity for members to ask candidates questions on the topics that you think are important.
