Dear Colleagues,

RIPE 47 will be held from 26 - 30 January 2004 at the NH Grand Hotel 
Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. To increase the involvement of 
the RIPE NCC membership and the RIPE community in RIPE 47, we are offering 
a range of webcasts/audiocasts and feedback mechanisms. We hope this 
enables those not at the meeting to follow and participate in RIPE 47 
sessions.

RIPE 47 WEBCAST / AUDIOCAST
==========================

The following sessions, held in the Grand Ballroom, will be broadcast live 
via webcast and archived on the RIPE NCC web site:

- - Address Policy Working Group
- - Database Working Group
- - DN* (Tues. session)
- - ENUM BoF
- - EOF
- - Plenary
- - RIPE NCC Services Working Group

The RIPE NCC will make the webcast sessions available through IPv6 as a 
trial for the first time.

All other sessions will be available via audiocast.

More information is available at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-47/webcast.html

IRC / JABBER TRIALS
=================

The RIPE NCC will be holding trials in collecting feedback from those who 
are not at the RIPE Meeting but who are following sessions remotely. The 
mediums used for this are IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and Jabber.

Those who are unable to attend but wish to participate in the meeting are 
encouraged to find a proxy who will present their questions at the meeting. 
The feedback trials provided at RIPE 47 enable participants to send 
feedback to their proxy via IRC or Jabber.

Each session will require a volunteer appointed by the RIPE Working Group 
Chair to keep track of all other messages as they are received and to pass 
them on to the chair of the session as appropriate. The volunteer should 
also type in a brief summary of what is being discussed at the session for 
the benefit of those following the session remotely. To preserve 
impartiality, RIPE NCC staff members will not be allowed to moderate.

Please note that feedback submitted through IRC/Jabber will be archived and 
made available on the RIPE NCC web site. If you do not have an IRC or 
Jabber client already, we recommend that you download and register a client 
when you arrive at the meeting and before your first session. Links to 
clients and further information can be found at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-47/feedback.html

OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION
========================

The RIPE On Site Information Exchange (ROSIE) will be available, providing 
attendees with important meeting information:
