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>. You can also follow @ripemeeting on Twitter. Best regards, Mirjam Kühne, RIPE Chair Niall O’Reilly, RIPE Vice Chair
