Tickets of 2 and 3 strips can be bought on the bus or the tram but they are much more expensive. You have to validate the ticket yourself in the metro stations and in the trams (except on lines 4, 6, 7, 10, 12 and 13). In the buses the driver will validate the ticket. Amsterdam is divided into zones: the old city is in zone `Centrum' whereas CWI is in zone `Oost'. You need to count how many zones you will be travelling through (from the centre - CWI is 2 zones) and count up that number of strips on your ticket + 1 extra. So in the above example you will need to stamp the 3rd strip. In case of overflow you stamp the last strip of the first ticket and start counting the remaining strips on the next ticket. Confused? Ask any member of the local organizing committee. Warning: BEWARE of pickpockets in crowded places. -------------------------- From ncc at ripe.net Tue Dec 13 14:12:41 1994 From: ncc at ripe.net (RIPE NCC Staff) Date: Tue, 13 Dec 1994 14:12:41 +0100 Subject: Hotels in Amsterdam for 20th RIPE meeting Message-ID: <9412131312.AA29792@ncc.ripe.net> ********************************************************************* 20th RIPE meeting Details of Hotels in Amsterdam Amsterdam, January 1995 <> All phone numbers below require the prefix 31 20 . <> All tram connections are from central station.

If, after the RIPE meeting, you want to stay some additional days we can invite you for some "technical meetings" after the RIPE meeting.

In fact, this was mentioned at the first meeting of the RIPE NCC Contributors' Forum in September. It was proposed that, as an incentive to get people to pay their dues for the operation of the NCC, they would be entitled to attend a course on the running of a local IP registry. This idea was aimed mainly at new providers in Europe, in order to get them trained up and paid up at roughly the same time. I've spoken to Daniel Karrenberg about this, and he sees no reason why such courses could not be offered to all paid-up contributors to the NCC. If they're anything like the PRIDE courses, they could be of great benefit to many of us. I'd be glad to hear your views on this proposal for training of local IRs. If you think it's a good idea, maybe you could suggest some topic headings and reading materials for the course. One suggestion is that many of the course materials could be consolidated by means of WWW. Is it reasonable to assume that the target audience would have WWW access? Cheers.

From billing at ripe.net Thu Dec 22 16:57:44 1994 From: billing at ripe.net (RIPE NCC Billing Department) Date: Thu, 22 Dec 1994 16:57:44 +0100 Subject: Commitments for 1995 Contributions Message-ID: <9412221557.AA07722@ncc.ripe.net> Dear colleagues, finally - in time for Christmas - we have succeeded to complete the commitment form and billing procedures. All relevant files have been compiled in ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/new-registry All documents are available in PostScript (.ps) and ASCII (.txt) versions. Some PostScript files are quite large due to the artwork included. All questions and correspondance associated with this should be directed to . They can also help you if you prefer the documents to be sent by e-mail or surface mail. But please do use this facility only if absolutely necessary. If you are responsible for a local registry we ask you kindly to do the following: 1. Agreement - Print two copies of the file agreement.ps or agreement.txt. - Fill in the agreements and sign them. Do not forget to indicate the billing category. - Send the copies of the agreement to the RIPE NCC by paper mail. Inform of the date you posted the agreements; this way we can detect surface mail problems early on. Upon receipt of the signed agreements will: - Note your commitment in the registry database - Adjust your service level accordingly - Have one copy of the agreement signed by TERENA and returned to you. 2. Registry Form - Send a completed registry form which can be found in file form.txt to - If you are already an established registry you can ask to send you an individual form which shows the data we already have for you. - It is important that you provide accurate billing information. Those of you located inside the EU will be billed 17.5% value added tax unless we have your correct VAT number. 3. Billing Those of you who have already confirmed their contribution and category for 1995 to us will receive a bill from TERENA in the beginning of January. The others will be billed as soon as their agreements have been received. Be sure to not the billing procedures document in file billing.{ps,txt}. If you would like to receive your bill still in 1994 contact as soon as possible to make arrangements for that. We will try to accommodate you as best as we can. 4. Service Level As decided by the NCC Contributors Committee, starting in January those registries which have signed the agreement will be serviced before all those who have not. In this context we advise you to include the regid string of your registry prominently in all correspondance with the NCC. This will facilitate to determine the proper service level. Again I apologise for the delay in producing these documents which took much longer than it should have due to NCC workload and the changes necessary due to the establishment of TERENA as the successor of RARE. A merry christmas and a successful 1995 to all of you Regards Daniel Karrenberg Manager RIPE NCC
