[ncc-announce] [news] RIPE Policy Proposals - June Update

Dear colleagues,

Here is our monthly overview of open policy proposals and their stage in 
the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP).

If you wish to join the discussion about a particular proposal, please 
do so on the relevant working group mailing list.

There is now new way for you to participate in policy discussions if you 
wish. The RIPE Forum is a web-based solution that allows you to 
subscribe, search, read and post to RIPE community mailings lists from 
your browser. This is entirely optional and the mailing lists will 
continue to be supported as normal. We invite you to have a look:
