[ripe-list] RIPE 82 will be a Virtual Meeting, 17-21 May 2021

Dear colleagues,

We decided, together with the RIPE NCC, that RIPE 82 will take place as
a virtual meeting from 17-21 May 2021.

While we were looking forward to seeing you all in Berlin, we feel this
is necessary to protect the health of all attendees and RIPE NCC staff.
The situation around COVID-19 is still too uncertain and the risks
appear too great to justify a physical meeting. We hope things will get
better soon and that we will be able to meet in person for a physical
RIPE 83.

That being said, we received positive feedback about people’s virtual
experience at RIPE 81 and we are already working behind the scenes to
make RIPE 82 even better.

For updates on the meeting, please keep an eye on this mailing list and
the RIPE 82 website <https://ripe82.ripe.net>.

Best regards,

Mirjam Kühne, RIPE Chair
Niall O’Reilly, RIPE Vice Chair
