      replacement.
   2. "How to use measurements in daily operations", probably an EOF
      session
   3. Use of LDAP for presenting TTM objects.  This was a topic
      mentioned on the mailing list, since the author of the
      original note is from Greece, the chair is asked to invite
      him for RIPE 43 and have him present his work.

      work at RIPE 44.
