Roundtable Meetings
The RIPE NCC facilitates Roundtable Meetings to discuss Internet management issues relevant to governments, regulators and industry partners. These meetings provide attendees with a chance to learn more about how to participate in IP address management policy-making. High-level discussions of IPv4/IPv6 address space and root nameservers also provide attendees with an overview of the main elements involved in the technical coordination of the Internet.
