also gave an update on the Number Resource Organization (NRO) Executive 
Council (EC) activities and Andrea Cima, Registration Services Manager, 
RIPE NCC, presented a global overview of allocation and assignment 
statistics. Filiz Yilmaz, Senior Director of Participation and 
Engagement, gave the IANA Update.


Closing Plenary

The Closing Plenary began with Geoff Huston, Chief Scientist, APNIC, 
giving an entertaining and informative presentation on IPv4 exhaustion.

Next on the agenda were three IPv6-related lightning talks and one on 
"RPKI Validation Performance". The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) held 
elections for the revolving vacant seat. The audience thanked Rob Evans, 
who is standing down from the PC. Filiz Yilmaz was elected by the 
attendees in the room by show of hands.

It was also announced that Joao Damas, IRC, was standing down from the 
PC. He received a standing ovation for his efforts in coordinating the 
RIPE Meeting plenary content over the last several years. Brian Nisbet 
was welcomed as his replacement.

Rob Blokzijl, RIPE Chair, asked the Plenary if it agreed that the RIPE 
NCC could continue to use an address block for RIS activities. The 
attendees present agreed by show of hands. Marco Hogewoning, RIPE NCC, 
announced that the resource request for business operations he had 
presented on earlier in the week has been revoked.

Nigel Titley, Chairman of the RIPE NCC Executive Board, announced that 
Wilfried Woeber had been selected as the RIPE NCC Executive Board 
appointee to the NRO Number Council (NC).

Erik Romijn, RIPE NCC, gave the RIPE 63 Technical Report. A report from 
the Secret Working Group followed and Rob Blokzijl closed the RIPE 63 
Meeting with a short overview of meeting statistics, thanked the meeting 
hosts, the organisation team and the attendees and encouraged everyone 
to take part in the RIPE 64 Meeting, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
