Short content description
-------------------------

This  memorandum  describes  the RIPE NCC activities
and associated expenditure for the year  1996.   The
companion  document  "RIPE  NCC  Revenue  & Charging
1996" (ripe-134) describes ways to generate the nec-
essary revenue.

The  "RIPE NCC Activity Plan" (ripe-125) defines the
activities of the RIPE NCC desired by the RIPE  com-
munity.   Based  on  this activity plan the RIPE NCC
has drafted this  document  which  was  subsequently
amended  according  to the decisions of the NCC Con-
tributors Committee as per point 3.2 of the  commit-
tee's  terms  of reference.  For details about those
decisions see the  minutes  of  the  Spetember  1995
meeting  of  the  committee  (ripe-132).  TERENA has
subseuently approved the expenditure budget as  pro-
posed.
