RIPE forces us to pay the bill unfairly

Hello everybody! We got a problem! We want to share it with you to find out your opinion on this matter. We are transferring our network to other company. The transfer is approved. As policy prescribed, you have to pay the annual fee. For today these are the third quartal and the forth. But RIPE forces us to pay the bill for the first quartal, however our LIR was opened later in the second one. ( in APRIL 2018). We would like to see and discuss the rules, where it is prescribed what to pay in such cases. Where we can read the regulation that you need to pay an annual fee for the quarters in which Lir did not even exist. Furthermore, we have 5 more LIRs on one company. Is it fare to be forced to pay all annual invoices on all Lirs, before the transfer one part of the network from 1 LIR? --Olena Dmytrenko

It means that you probably have five times more IPv4 space that you deserved. As you might know, these addresses are reserved for late comers so they get at least some portion of the IPv4 space. Every thing else is just a tolerated abuse. Only unfair thing about this whole thing is that it is still tolerated (in the name of accurate database). So it is only fair that you had to pay for such "abuse" of (post-) last /8 space. These rules are there precisely because of that. > I am curious as to how the OP is able to transfer what is clearly non-legacy space out of this LIR when by their own admission, it hasn't been in existence for two years.
