Its now two days before the meeting starts.  We plan to start official

time before the first session starts at 10am to find the best mirror for

		  not a part of the RIPE meeting. )

An archive of each session should be available within 15 minutes of the
actual conclusion of the session (noting here that some sessions do have a
tendency to run overtime).  Please remember to check the webcast archive
page for when each archive is available, as local circumstances may delay
the provision of the archives (such as the bandwidth from the meeting
venue).

If you have problems with the stream during the official times of the
streaming listed above, or accessing the archived sessions, please do not
hesitate to contact RIPE NCC Operations at ops at ripe.net, or indeed, this
list.  We will endeavour to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
