This document covers the most common types of requests that reflect the business models and technology deployments in the RIPE NCC service region. If the document is considered useful by the RIPE NCC membership, the RIPE NCC will produce the same documentation for IPv6 and aut-num requests. Best regards, Alex Le Heux RIPE NCC

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.
