Dear RIPE NCC members, The RIPE NCC invoice for 2024 will be issued in the coming days. Invoices will be available in the LIR Portal and sent to all billing contacts (please ensure that your billing contact details are up to date). We ask all members to please follow the process as laid out in the RIPE NCC Billing Procedure 2024: https://www.ripe.net/membership/member-support/payment/ripe-ncc-billing-proc... Payment Extensions We have granted payment extensions to members in Ukraine for the past two years due to war taking place there and the difficulties some Ukrainian members have had in paying their invoices. For the 2024 invoicing period, we will apply the normal invoicing approach to all of our members including those in Ukraine. The majority of members in Ukraine have paid their invoices, so we expect that this will affect fewer than 100 members. We will email our Ukrainian members separately to explain this change. We are conscious that some members will still need payment extensions and we will provide these on a per-request basis to members in countries in our service region that are experiencing war in their country. This approach will help to ensure that members are not accumulating debts that might be difficult for them to pay in subsequent years. And it will allow the RIPE NCC to have a more sustainable income stream while accommodating those members who need an extension. To request an extension we ask that members fill out the form at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/forms/apply/payment-extension-form/ Please note that because our billing reminders are automated, we will continue to send billing reminders even when an extension has been granted. If a payment extension has been granted, you should ignore these reminders. Kind regards, Simon Jan Haytink Chief Financial Officer RIPE NCC
