Re: [ncc-services-wg] Updated RIPE NCC Procedural Document Available
by Arne Kiessling 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Dear Hank, Thank you for your email. We updated the procedural document because ripe-511 contained a redundant paragraph that was also referencing another procedural document (ripe-475) that was obsoleted. This is the paragraph that was removed from ripe-511 and is no longer visible in ripe-518: "If the required feedback is not received after three months and several attempts by the RIPE NCC to contact the resource holder including reminders by email and using different contact details registered in the RIPE Database related to the resource, or if a resource holder has not signed an agreement with either a sponsoring LIR or the RIPE NCC within three months of confirming via the web interface that they are going to sign an agreement, the RIPE NCC may start the deregistration of the resource according to the de-registration timeframes described in section 4.1.1 of "Independent Internet Number Resources - Contractual Relationship Changes between sponsoring LIR and End User"." -- Kind Regards Arne Kiessling IP Resource Analyst RIPE Network Coordination Centre Hank Nussbacher wrote: > At 15:56 14/03/2011 +0100, Arne Kiessling wrote: > > Rather than doing a diff can you indicate what are the changes? > > Thanks, > Hank > >> Dear Colleagues, >> >> The RIPE NCC has published an updated procedural document, ripe-518, >> "Implementation of RIPE Policy 'Contractual Requirements for Provider >> Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region' - Phase 3". >> >> This document replaces ripe-511, which was published recently.

Dear colleagues, Registration is now open for the Middle East Network Operators Group (MENOG) 8/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting, taking place in Damascus, Syria from 14-19 May 2011. This is the first time a MENOG/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting will be held in Syria. We would like to thank the host Syrian Computer Society (SCS) for supporting this event.

The MENOG 7 Meeting, held in Istanbul in October 2010, attracted over 240 attendees from 34 countries, and we expect the MENOG 8 Meeting to build on the success of that event. Registration will close when maximum capacity is reached, so please register soon to ensure your attendance.
