Nathalie Dougall	Sabrina Wilmot	Matthew Williams	Carsten Schiefner

Nathalie Dougall has recently joined Sabrina Wilmot as a Membership Liaison Officer (MLO). Nathalie and Sabrina are responsible for planning, implementing, and managing regional outreach to members of the RIPE NCC, throughout its service region. They also organise local meetings within the RIPE NCC service region that include current and potential RIPE NCC members, government representatives, and industry partners.

The Membership Liaison Officers are responsible for analysing member needs and identifying opportunities to enhance the RIPE NCC’s service to its members.

Matthew Williams is the Customer Liaison Engineer (CLE) in the RIPE NCC New Projects (NP) group. The New Projects department is dedicated to Internet data collection and performance measurements for the benefit of the community. Matthew’s responsibilities are to interact with the users of the various projects in the group, the Routing Information Service (RIS) in particular, and to turn their requirements into new products and services. One example is the myASn project, which intends to provides a notification system for BGP in cases of unexpected routing behaviour that is integrated into the RIPE NCC LIR Portal. Other services developed by New Projects include RISwhois, DNS Monitoring (DNSMon) and Test Traffic Measurements (TTM).

Carsten Schiefner is part of the Communications Group and is responsible for various aspects of RIPE NCC external relations. This includes interacting with entities that are not members of the RIPE NCC, such as governments, regulators, ISP and Telco associations, as well as European institutions and the ITU. The main goal is to increase the RIPE NCC’s outreach and to develop greater awareness of the principles of RIPE, the RIPE NCC and the traditional Internet model of bottom-up, consensus-based industry self-regulation.
