[ripe-list] 'Ex Machina' Documents

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for taking the time to read the minutes and the draft documents.

Just to clarify: theses two documents will be published as RIPE documents shortly including all the necessary meta data. They will then disappear from the folder marked Draft and Discussion Files.

I take your point though that even temporary draft documents should be complete with list of authors etc.

Kind regards,
Mirjam
