As I understand people who started that topic:
1. They have several LIRs for one company.
2. Last LIR was opened in 2nd quarter of this year, and payments
are QUARTERLY.
3. They wish to transfer resource from ANOTHER LIR (NOT the last
one was opened this year).
4. RIPE NCC issued the invoice for that ANOTHER LIR for 1st quarter,
when that LIR did not exists.
5. To let the transfer from FIRST LIR, they have to paid for 1st
quarter of the SECOND LIR, which was opened in 2nd quarter.
So, it violates points 1 and 2(3) of what you said below (and common
sense, of course).

Guys,
There is no problem.
What’s so hard to read and understand the rules
and policies. It has been written and described multiple
times in this thread. And policies has been accepted signing
the contract with RIPE NCC.
In simple short words:
-
For opening a LIR in the middle of the year
you have to pay the current and all following quarters for
the current year.
-
If you want to close a LIR, you have to pay
at least ONE FULL annual fee for this LIR, no matter if
it’s the first year and you would only have to pay for
quarters from the creation of the year.
-
Same applies to your wish to transfer
resources.
-
Annual means once every year, not once in a
timeframe including 12 months.
-
You DON’T pay for resources, you pay for
services from RIPE NCC, both sides using policies and
rules developed by the RIPE community.
Having said this, I second the opinion to not
expect too much sympathy on this topic. And IMHO you’ll
achieve the opposite pushing this topic any further.
