RIPE NCC publishes draft agenda for the October 2026 General Meeting

Update - 30 October 2026

RIPE NCC published the General Meeting results on 30 October. Both the financial-treatment resolution and the Articles of Association amendments were approved, and six Arbiter Panel members were elected. These are Arbiter Panel seats, not new Executive Board seats. See our results follow-up for the decisions and their implications for LIRs.

What changed

The RIPE NCC published the draft agenda for its October 2026 General Meeting on 17 September. The meeting takes place online and in person in Sofia, Bulgaria, from 28 to 30 October, alongside RIPE 93. The draft agenda includes:

• a discussion of the Draft Activity Plan and Budget 2027
• an Arbiter Panel election for six seats
• a vote on whether to distribute the 2026 surplus or deficit in 2027
• a vote on amendments to the Articles of Association that would change the Executive Board structure

Update - 19 October 2026

The current agenda, checked on 19 October, lists votes on the treatment of the 2026 excess contribution or deficit and proposed Board-structure amendments, plus an election for six Arbiter Panel seats. Supporting documents are available. The 14 October proxy and member-resolution deadlines have passed. As of that check, the meeting page listed registration closing at 14:00 (UTC+2) on 28 October and results on 30 October. That registration deadline has passed.

Why it matters for BYOIP teams

Organisations that hold address space as RIPE NCC members, including many BYOIP holders and IP lessors, fund and govern the registry through the General Meeting. The proposed 2027 budget and governance amendments set the context for the services those holders rely on, such as the RPKI Dashboard and RIPE Database.

What to check

• Review the published supporting documents, including the Draft Activity Plan and Budget 2027 and the proposed Articles of Association amendments.
• Use the published results when reporting the meeting's outcome, and watch for any later notice on Articles amendments or member billing.
