RIPE 17 actions status report

[Anne Lord <]

Below is the list of action items from the RIPE meeting (and previously).
The actions are grouped into two different categories: "Done" and "Open".
If you are on the list with an action against your name, would you please 
reply confirming the status of that action : ie. whether it has been 
"Done" (hopefully) or whether it is still "Open", with an expected approx
date for completion, if possible. 

This list is in response to a number of requests from people for more 
support and continuity of work items between meetings.  It will be sent 
to the list once a month - the next list will be generated mid March. 
  
I hope it helps!
