MEETING PLAN
At RIPE 50 we introduce a modified meeting plan. All presentations that
were previously held in the EOF and the various Working Group meetings
will now be combined into one stream of presentations during the first
three days of RIPE 50. The last two days will be dedicated to the
Working Group meetings that will have a better focus on actual work
items.

The program of the first three days will include presentations on:

   - new developments in BGP deployment
   - measurements of Internet performance parameters
   - IPv6 deployment
   - Internet security practises
   - reports on political developments such as WSIS
   - and many more

The program will be published on the website soon. Suggestions and
proposals for presentations are welcome, and can be sent to
meeting@localhost.
