[ncc-announce] [news] The RIPE NCC General Meeting November 2021

Dear colleagues,

The RIPE NCC General Meeting November 2021 took place virtually from 24-29 November 2021. 

There was a discussion on the RIPE NCC's draft five-year strategy and the draft Activity Plan and Budget 2022. Participants also discussed proposals regarding the future of the RIPE NCC's Charging Scheme model.

Members voted on the redistribution of the 2021 surplus to the membership in 2022. A total of 1,273 members cast their vote on the resolution with Option C being approved by the members:

Option C: "The General Meeting approves that the RIPE NCC 2021 financial surplus will be redistributed to membership in 2022 according to the RIPE NCC Clearing House Procedure."

There was a delay in announcing the results for this GM as our voting provider BigPulse did not provide us with a verifiable report by the time of the scheduled announcement on 26 November. The results were announced at 12:00 UTC+1 on Monday, 29 November. BigPulse is aware of the importance of this, and we will work with them to make sure that it does not happen again.

I thank everyone who contributed to these important discussions and for voting at the GM.

Kind regards,
Hans Petter Holen
Managing Director
RIPE NCC
