[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
