<br>
so first congratulations to Raymond, Maria and Harald!<br>
<br>
Second thanks to the RIPE NCC for organising a marvellous event (even if in Rotterdam ;) and a lunch without nasi and sateh :( ).<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Alex<br>
