As one of the coop-wg co-chairs I have to say it is a hard balance to
strike - do we want to have as many interesting presentations as
possible, or do we want to use the time for discussion? My personal
view is that we have the mailing list (that is open to anyone) for
discussion and demo'cratic interaction, and the actual meeting sessions
are best filled with presentations (with possible comments/discussion
on the mailing list).

...but at least the mic is part of democracy at RIPE for me.
Due to this the implicit no-mic policy (ehh, we have no time...so no mic) in
the coop-wg session at RIPE86 was a no-go for me.
I would support a mandatory mic-time for all ripemtg sessions to preserve
democratic interaction.

Hi,
It was again a very nice RIPE Meeting, thanks to all for making this happen.
Indeed.
Thank you to the organizers - it was, as always, a good meeting.
I Prefer an "Event Hotel" and I prefer, when financial possible, a slightly
more elaborate lunch with soft drinks.
Yes, having the event in a hotel with a convention center / large meetings
rooms is certainly much nicer, and leads to much better community building - a
significant portion of meeting value is the hallway track. While this does
somewhat still work between sessions / during lunch, not being as easily able
to just meet for breakfast/dinner does take away from that.
The community building aspect really resonates with me, especially for
newcomers.
I recently co-organised an event [1] limited (by budget) to ~250 people. It
struck me ho much interaction there was among the attendees, both with the
speakers and with one another, despite the fact that this was a new event and
nobody knew each other.
Due to the size and relative intimacy of the venue (20 seats wide, 13 rows
deep), having a discussion was as easy as throwing a mic around [2]. It seems
much less intimidating than standing up, trying to make your way to the isle,
line up behind someone who often appears to be a long-time expert to ask your
question in front of a giant room.
Of course it’s fantastic RIPE meetings attract such a big crowd nowadays, but I
wonder if there is some way to bring back more of the intimacy that fosters
newcomers not just to attend, but to interact.
Cheers,
Alex

I personally was completely fine with the lunches - while it did seem to slow
things down somewhat by having the venue staff serve the food, it really didn't
bother me much.

RIPE86 has closed,
so first congratulations to Raymond, Maria and Harald!
Second thanks to the RIPE NCC for organising a marvellous event (even if in
Rotterdam ;) and a lunch without nasi and sateh :( ).
This time the event venue and hotel's were separate, as this also was the
largest RIPE ever, we might see this a new way to do meetings. Personally I
feel having a 'event hotel' gives me more of a community feeling. Would be nice
if we could have some data concerning this (do ppl not care as some might opt
for cheaper hotels anyways, do they have a preference for one/other).
Third, as to the GM results, could the RIPE NCC give some background on the
actual numbers for the votes of the charging scheme? Did option D receive a
clear majority, or only in the run-off? This might be very relevant for finding
the way forward.
Thanks,
Alex
