RIPE 17 actions status report - APRIL reminder

[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 is the third
reminder to be sent out and there will be one more reminder only.
The last list will be generated one week from the next RIPE meeting - Monday 
9th May.  
 
Thanks,

Anne
