[members-discuss] Invitation to participate in the Charging Scheme Task Force

Dear Nigel et al,

I have been a quiet member on most RIPE lists for more than five years
now and represent one of the smaller members of RIPE NCC.  I am
interested in participating in this task force mainly because I would
like to speak up for all the not-for-profit organisations that are RIPE
NCC members.

Regrads,
j.
