I would also like to thank Sander Steffann for serving on the NRO NC / ASO AC for the majority of his three-year term, which would have ended by December 2024. Sander stepped down shortly prior to RIPE 88 held in May to be eligible for the RIPE NCC Executive Board election. Thank you for your work Sander!
