[news] Transfers Due to Change in Business Structure and Between LIR Accounts of One Member
by Henriette van Ingen 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Dear RIPE NCC members, We would like to inform you of changes relating to transfers due to a change in business structure (e.g., mergers and acquisitions) as specified in the new section 3.6 of ripe-709, "Transfer of Internet Number Resources and Change of a Member’s Official Legal Name”. Following a resolution at the Executive Board meeting on 7 September, when an member transfers IPv4 or 16-bit ASNs that are subject to the transfer restriction due to a change in business structure, the transferring LIR account needs to remain open until the new 24-month restriction on transfer of scarce resources has passed. If the receiving party already holds an LIR account, the LIR account of the transferring party will become an additional LIR account of the receiving party. In effect, consolidation of LIR accounts belonging to the same member is not possible until the 24-month restriction has passed. However, new 24-month restrictions will not be applied to these resources if they are further transferred between LIR accounts held by the same member after the initial restrictions have expired. This applies to all resources transferred between LIR accounts of the same member in all situations. This change is effective from 7 September 2018. The section on transfers between LIR accounts belonging to the same member is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-709#transfer35 The section relating to transfers due to a change in business structure is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-709#transfer36 The minutes of the 118th Executive Board meeting are available at: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/executive-board/minutes/2018/draft-minutes-11… If you have questions about the updated procedures, please contact us at <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Henriette van Ingen Customer Service Assistant Manager RIPE NCC

[GM] One Week to the RIPE NCC General Meeting: Have You Registered Yet?
by Axel Pawlik 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Dear RIPE NCC members, The RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) takes place one week from today on Wednesday, 17 October. All members are asked to participate by registering their voting and attendance options via my.ripe.net: https://www.ripe.net/s/gm-registration-oct-2018 The registration process takes less than a minute to complete, and we ask that you exercise your participation and voting rights in this important meeting for the RIPE NCC and the membership. You can register to participate and vote remotely until 16:00 UTC+2 on 17 October. Agenda and Resolutions ----------------------- The agenda for the GM is available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2018/agenda There will be a discussion of the Draft RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2019. This document lays out our plans for 2019 and the cost of those plans, so your input can help shape the direction of the RIPE NCC in the coming year. The PDF is available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2018/draft-ri… There are also four resolutions that the members will vote on at the GM. The first asks members to decide on what will happen to the RIPE NCC's 2018 budget surplus - it will be either returned to the RIPE NCC reserves or redistributed to the members as a rebate in 2019. The other three resolutions ask members to adopt the amended RIPE NCC Articles of Association. The document outlining these changes are available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2018/proposed… Note: This document was updated on 9 October 2018 to correct an error: The amendment of article 18 previously said an absolute majority of those "entitled" to vote was required to challenge a verdict. This has been corrected to say those "registered" to vote at the General Meeting. The GM will also have updates from the RIPE NCC management and the Executive Board. The meeting will be broadcast live for all members from the remote participation page at 18:00 UTC+2 next Wednesday, 17 October. The webstream link and all other GM-related information is available from the GM webpages: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/october-2018 We rely on our members to give us guidance and make important decisions related to the work of the RIPE NCC, so I look forward to seeing strong involvement from the members at next week's meeting. Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

[news] 118th / 119th RIPE NCC Executive Board Meetings, Changes in EB Roles
by Axel Pawlik 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Executive Board held its 118th Meeting on 7 September 2018 and its 119th meeting on 14 September 2018. The draft minutes of these meetings are now available: 118th Meeting: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/executive-board/minutes/2018/draft-minutes-11… 119th Meeting: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/executive-board/minutes/2018/draft-minutes-11… The Executive Board publishes the minutes of its meetings so that the work of the Board and its decisions are transparent for the membership that it represents. The following is a summary of the main items from the meetings. Further details are available in the minutes. --------------- 118th Meeting --------------- - The Board asked the RIPE NCC to establish a formal conflict of interest procedure - The Board approved amendments to the procedural document "Transfer of Internet Number Resources and Change of a Member's Official Legal Name" -------------- 119th Meeting -------------- - The Board approved the publication of the Draft RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget 2019 - The Board approved the proposed changes to the RIPE NCC Articles of Association to be voted on at the upcoming RIPE NCC General Meeting - The Board approved the Draft Agenda for the RIPE NCC General Meeting - The Board decided to make changes to the EB roles (Chairman and Secretary) ---------------------------------------------- Changes to the RIPE NCC Executive Board Roles ---------------------------------------------- In light of the addition of two new Board members at the last General Meeting in Marseille, it was felt that some rotation of the Board functions would be beneficial. Nigel Titley has diligently and effectively carried out the role of Chairman of the Executive Board since 2008. He and the other Board members feel that now is the right time to have another Executive Board Chairman and they agreed that Christian Kaufmann would take on the role of Chairman as of 14 September. To maintain a good degree of continuity and stability with the Board roles, Remco van Mook will remain as Executive Board Treasurer and Christian's former role as Executive Board Secretary will now be filled by Nigel. We look forward to the continued support and guidance of the Executive Board in its new setup and welcome Christian to the role of Chairman. We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Nigel for the dedicated service he has provided to the RIPE NCC and its membership in his decade of chairing the Executive Board. Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
