Dear RIPE NCC members, We are planning to send the invoices for your 2023 membership service fee towards the end of January 2023 via our automated system. To enable a smooth process and to avoid unnecessary reminders or closure warnings, we would like to ask you to check that the following information in the LIR Portal is correct as soon as possible: - Legal name - Billing address - Contact person(s) - Billing email address - PO number (if applicable) - Other contact email addresses and phone numbers You can find this information at: https://my.ripe.net/#/billing Note: Please make sure that you have access to the LIR Portal or have direct contact with someone who does. If you need help updating your billing information, send an email to <billing@ripe.net>. ---------------- Closure Requests ---------------- If you are planning to close any LIR accounts, you can avoid getting an invoice for 2023 by: - Making a valid request to close your LIR account before the end of 2022. - Requesting the closure of an LIR account due to making a policy transfer or change in business structure before the end of the year. This request must be made with all the necessary information and documentation, and you must confirm your intent to close the account in the request. - Ensuring that for policy transfers, the resources are transferable at the time of the request. Automated invoices will be corrected for valid requests received before 31 December 2022, even if the requests have not been finalised by that date. We therefore ask you to kindly complete any closure requests, policy transfers, or notifications of changes in the business structure as soon as possible to avoid receiving an automated invoice in Q1 2023. The sooner we receive these requests, the faster we can handle them for you. If you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact us at <ncc@ripe.net>. Kind regards, Jeremy Walder Manager Member Services RIPE NCC
