Thanks Hans Petter! RIPE NCC Meeting team,
what is the right procedure to cancel reservations at the InterContinental? I don't seem to get any reply on emails to cancel my specific reservation, and I'm probably not the only one... Kind regards, Paul Hoogsteder. > Dear colleagues, > > The RIPE 80 Meeting that was scheduled to be held in Berlin from 11-15 > May will be a virtual meeting with a reduced programme due to the > situation with COVID-19.
