[ncc-announce] Draft Document: "Closure of LIR and Deregistration of Internet Number Resources"
by Axel Pawlik 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC, in consultation with external legal experts, created the draft procedural document, "Closure of LIR and Deregistration of Internet Number Resources". A PDF of the document is available at: http://www.ripe.net/legal/Closure-of-LIR-and-deregistration-of-INRs_final-d… The text of this document is intended to replace sections in two RIPE Documents that deal with the closure of LIRs and the deregistration of resources: - Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of ripe-301, "Mergers, Acquisitions, Takeovers and Closures of Organisations Operating an LIR". These sections are entitled "Closing an LIR" and "When an LIR is Closed by the RIPE NCC", respectively. The original RIPE Document is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/mergers.html - Section 4.2 of ripe-475, "Independent Internet Number Resources - Contractual Relationship Changes between sponsoring LIR and End User". This section is entitled "Violation of RIPE Policy, Law or Contract". The original RIPE Document is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-475.html The RIPE NCC would like to receive feedback on this draft document from its members and the RIPE community. The RIPE NCC members and the RIPE community will have the opportunity to discuss the document on the mailing lists and at the RIPE NCC Services Working Group to be held on 17 November at the RIPE 61 Meeting in Rome. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
