[RIPE NCC Document Annoucement Service <]

Short content description
-------------------------

The PRIDE project will end in October this year.  At the 19th meeting
RIPE decided to add maintenance of the Routing Registry and PRIDE tools
to the NCC core activities.  The amended NCC activity plan is now
available as a draft.  The only change is the addition of activities 3.9
and 3.10.  For 1995 the effort required by these activities will be 1
engineer FTE.  The text of this amended activity plan is up for approval
at the 20th RIPE meeting in January 1995.

FTP Access
----------
All RIPE documents and Internet RFC`s are available via anonymous FTP
from host ftp.ripe.net.  Type "ftp ftp.ripe.net". 

Login with username "anonymous" supplying your email address as the 
password.  After logging in, type "cd ripe/drafts/" followed 
by the command "get filename". 

The relevant filenames for this document are:

	ncc-act.txt	for the ASCII version
	ncc-act.ps	for the PostScript version
 

Electronic Mail Retrieval of Documents
--------------------------------------
Documents can also be retrieved from the RIPE document store using a
mail server program.  For more information on how to use the program,
send email to: mail-server@localhost with "send HELP" in the body text. 

RIPE NCC Interactive Information Server
---------------------------------------
Type "telnet info.ripe.net".  This is a menu driven service allows
the document store to be browsed.  After reading documents you are
prompted as to whether you would like to receive an email copy of the
document you have just read.  If you would, you simply enter your email
address and the document will be mailed to you. 

Below are details of alternative methods of access.
 
Gopher Access
-------------
The same documents are available via a "gopher" server at
"gopher gopher.ripe.net".

 
MIME Mail Reader
----------------
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant Mail Reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the RIPE document by
FTP or mail server.
