Hello Tonye, is the ISP who wants to keep his allocated addresses a RIPE member (LIR) himself ? If he is an active LIR the allocated resources can be transferred from one LIR to another for an administrative fee. If he is a member in closing state for any circumstance the same applies but in addition all debts have to be cleaned at RIPE. If neither is the case (he isn't / wasn't a LIR) and he holds PI space there's no problem but if it's address space allocated to another LIR except himself he's nearly no chance to keep it except when his old uplink ISP has re-assigned him a complete resource and is willing for the trouble to transfer this to you (after checking with RIPE). Take a look at the document RIPE-301 http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/mergers.html and if you can match somewhere within this contact the lir-help at RIPE. regards, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------- mainzkom Telekommunikation GmbH Ein Unternehmen der Tropolys-Gruppe Network Engineering and Administration mainzkom / maineotk / pulsaar Tel: +49-(0)6131/129343 | Fax: +49-(0)6131/129321 Mombacher Str. 40, 55122 Mainz, Germany --------------------------------------------------------- AS15837 | MG3031-RIPE --------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Local Internet Register" <registry@intelcam.cm> To: <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 12:33 PM Subject: [address-policy-wg] LIR Camtel - Cameroon Hello, This is the LIR of Cameroon telecommunications (CAMTEL), There is an ISP which have a space address allocated to him by RIPE, at the beginning he was a customer of another ISP (LIR).
