I will make sure you get an explanation to your question, but off this list. The <lir-help@ripe.net> mailbox is open for any questions you as members may have and is usually responded to within one working day. I will not go into detail in answering your questions here on the list as the questions themselves are out of the scope of this discussion. cheers Nurani -- Nurani Nimpuno Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC http://www.ripe.net * Cheers, * * -- * Marco * * *
