Hi Sonia,
those numbers were quite clear. What we were wondering is whether it is possible to register an LIR in Q4 2015, pay the €2400, receive the /22, transfer the /22, close the LIR within the same quarter.
This was correct. If a new LIR was joined at the end of the year, the LIR had to pay only for the last quarter as well as the sign-up fee. However, the RIPE NCC Executive Board held it latest meeting on 20 March 2015. The Board made a resolution that LIRs that join the RIPE NCC and close within 12 months, have to pay the full annual service fee before commencement of a merger, transfer or a closure procedure. This means that from now on, an LIR that joins the RIPE NCC in the course of the year (for example in June 2015) and wishes to close before the end of the year, will have to pay the full service fee for 2015 (rather than the last two quarters as was previously the case) before a merger, transfer or closure procedure can commence. An official announcement will follow shortly along with the minutes of the Executive Board Meeting. Have a lovely weekend. Sonia
Or, does the LIR need to pay the fee for a whole year (4 quarters) when they close (or transfer the /22) - regardless on which Q they were opened?
Regards, Elvis

Dear all
For 2015, all RIPE NCC members are charged an annual service fee of € 1,600 for each LIR account they hold. For New LIRs that are established during the year, the service fee is applied pro rata, meaning thus that new LIRs established during the course of 2015, are charged as follow:
New LIR established: Total fee: How the fee is made up: * during first quarter € 3,600 Sign up fee (€ 2,000) + service fee (€ 1,600) * during second quarter € 3,200 Sign up fee (€ 2,000) + service fee (€ 1,200) * during third quarter € 2,800 Sign up fee (€ 2,000) + service fee (€ 800) * during fourth quarter € 2,400 Sign up fee (€ 2,000) + service fee (€ 400) I hope this clarifies the question. best regards
