[ripe-list] RIPE86 results

I just want to add that regarding the lunches there certainly were some issues.
The dishes should be labeled with what they contain and list
compatibility with common dietary needs.
It was pretty much impossible for me to figure out which dishes
contained lactose and I kind of just had to guess.
I heard that it was also quite difficult for vegans to figure out
which dishes they could have.
This is a relatively easy issue to solve, just publish a menu that
contains a list of all dishes and what they will contain.

There were other issues with the lunches too, like there simply not
being much to pick from if you didn't eat meat.
This should also be fixed although it was not an issue that personally
affected me so others can probably give better input here.

Also a final small issue: on the first day they ran out of forks, how
is that a thing?

While this does somewhat still work between sessions / during lunch, not being as easily able to just meet for breakfast/dinner does take away from that.

>> so first congratulations to Raymond, Maria and Harald!

>> Second thanks to the RIPE NCC for organising a marvellous event (even if in Rotterdam ;) and a lunch without nasi and sateh :( ).
>> This time the event venue and hotel's were separate, as this also was the largest RIPE ever, we might see this a new way to do meetings. Personally I feel having a 'event hotel' gives me more of a community feeling. Would be nice if we could have some data concerning this (do ppl not care as some might opt for cheaper hotels anyways, do they have a preference for one/other).

>> Third, as to the GM results, could the RIPE NCC give some background on the actual numbers for the votes of the charging scheme? Did option D receive a clear majority, or only in the run-off? This might be very relevant for finding the way forward.
