[ripe-list] RIPE86 results

As one of the coop-wg co-chairs I have to say it is a hard balance to
strike - do we want to have as many interesting presentations as
possible, or do we want to use the time for discussion? My personal
view is that we have the mailing list (that is open to anyone) for
discussion and demo'cratic interaction, and the actual meeting sessions
are best filled with presentations (with possible comments/discussion
on the mailing list).

>> Yes, having the event in a hotel with a convention center / large meetings rooms is certainly much nicer, and leads to much better community building - a significant portion of meeting value is the hallway track. 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.

It seems much less intimidating than standing up, trying to make your way to the isle, line up behind someone who often appears to be a long-time expert to ask your question in front of a giant room.

>> RIPE86 has closed,
>>
>> 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.

>> Thanks,
