Re: [members-discuss] Moderation approval timeline

Dear Lu, The current moderation policy involves one designated member of the RIPE NCC staff and one from the Board reviewing emails sent to the mailing list during office hours (at least once per day). Unfortunately, this does introduce the human element. One of our moderators was unavailable for most of yesterday, which meant that mails were moderated early in the day as required by the policy but this was not possible for the rest of the day. Rest assured that all valid emails will eventually find their way to the list. We appreciate your understanding if this takes a little longer than usual. Best regards, Fergal Cunningham Head of Membership Engagement RIPE NCC Hi What is moderation policy currently in this list? I have sent an email to the list but didn't see it appear in achieve. Lu Heng Chief Executive Officer LARUS Limited

Second attempt in declaring my position
by Sander Steffann 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

Hi everybody, My previous version of this email got rejected by RIPE NCC moderation, so let me try again… I have understood that people have interpreted this bit in a way that I didn’t mean: > Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Lu Heng and the way he does business, but not all his lawsuits are without merit Let me put that in very clear words: I personally extremely strongly oppose what Lu Heng is doing, his apparent morals and ethics, the way he does business etc. The way he is suing AFRINIC, blocking their bank accounts and stuff like that, just for personal/business benefit, is very much not ok. But… He is also not stupid. He abuses things that are actually wrong in AFRINIC to get what he wants. Just because he’s doing things that I think are very bad doesn’t mean that he is always wrong. Scary: definitely! Bad: definitely! But: the way to solve this is by getting things in order inside AFRINIC and by going through the proper legal channels in Mauritius. This is not something that is up to us, the RIRs or the NRO to fix. This is something for the African legal system and the African community to solve. We do not control their fate. My apologies if anyone thought that I support Lu Heng in this. I very strongly do not. But I do oppose to the way the NRO is getting involved. Cheers, Sander

Re: [members-discuss] Ukrainian members payments

Dear Sergey, members, Below you will find our response to Oleksandr Savchuk's request on behalf of the Ukrainian Internet Society (UIA)[1]. Regards Hans Petter Holen Managing Director RIPE NCC [1] https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/members-discuss/2022-April/004562.h… ---- Mr Oleksandr Savchuk Chairman of the Ukrainian Internet Association Kyiv, Ukraine 24 May 2022 Re: Request to ‘Zero’ RIPE NCC Membership Fees for Ukrainian Network Operators Dear Mr Savchuk, Thank you for your letter dated 4 April 2022. We would like to first express our solidarity with Ukrainian network operators and our admiration for their efforts to maintain connectivity at such a difficult time. For our part, we will do what we can to support the Ukrainian membership, consistent with our mission to enable stable Internet operations throughout our region. Regarding your request: as you will know, we have informed Ukrainian members that we will not terminate their Standard Service Agreements (SSAs) if they do not pay their 2022 fees on time or are unable to meet certain administrative requirements. At the RIPE NCC General Meeting last week, we discussed support for Ukrainian members (Agenda Point 4: Provision of Undisrupted Services to Members and Community) and explained the RIPE NCC’s current thinking on the matter of invoices, which appears to be generally supported by members. The current Charging Scheme does not allow for a specific group of members to receive a payment exemption. Applying this would require a vote at the General Meeting along with additional legal and administrative overhead. We would also have to align this with the principle that we treat all members equally. The RIPE NCC will therefore continue with an extension of payment obligations for as long as needed. This approach can always be revisited if needed. If the situation in Ukraine changes and it becomes apparent an extension is not enough, we can have this discussion with the membership. Finally, I would like to thank the members from Ukraine who made time to participate in our General Meeting last week. To do so given the current situation underlines how serious a matter this is for your association and the wider community in Ukraine, and we will certainly reciprocate by giving this our highest priority. Sincerely, Hans Petter Holen Managing Director RIPE NCC

Ukrainian members payments
by Serge Pershin 08 Apr '22

08 Apr '22

Hello, Dear Colleagues, Please take an attention to the letter from Oleksandr Savchuk, The Chairman of the Board of Ukrainian Internet Association -------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr. Christian Kaufmann! Dear colleagues! The Ukrainian Internet Association (UIA) is the largest Internet-association in Ukraine: It unites more than 230 members, 70% of which are telecom operators. For more than 20 years, the Association has been implementing projects aimed at developing the Ukrainian segment of the global Internet and protecting the interests of its members. Let us express our sincere gratitude for RIPE NCC's efforts to maintain the stability of the Internet in our region and to coordinate and develop the interactions within the Internet community. We would like to note that the Ukrainian segment of the Internet does not stand apart from these activities. Now Ukrainian Internet Association and all Ukrainian ISPs are appealing to the RIPE community for help. We have a war going on in our country, with the Russian army firing heavy missiles into cities. Infrastructure is constantly being destroyed, it has to be rebuilt under fire. Income payments dropped down in a order of magnitude. We are asking RIPE NCC members and the organization itself to consider zeroing payments to RIPE NCC in 2022 for Ukrainian members. Looking forward to the future fruitful cooperation and successful working relationship! Respectfully, Oleksandr Savchuk Chairman of the Board of Ukrainian Internet Association ------------------------------------------------------------- -- kind regards, Serge Pershin mailto:serge@ix.net.ua

RIPEdb registry need to be ready for separating?

Dear colleagues, I found some strange scheme - https://twitter.com/EvgeniiBender/status/1502709009408835589?s=20&t=PSGBvgc… If this is true, Russian LIR must be already registered in those structures. Can anyone confirm or disprove the existence of such events? -- Sergey
