Dear all, At its 188th RIPE NCC meeting on 4-5 September 2025, the RIPE NCC Executive Board approved amendments to the LIR Account Agreement. These changes are made in response to the EU regulation Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) which came into effect in January 2025. While the requirements apply to financial institutions, the RIPE NCC aims to facilitate the implementation of this regulation for those entities that are RIPE NCC members to a reasonable extent. The changes include: - Adding a definition of the LIR Portal and clarified what an LIR contact is (article 1) - Aligning the wording with the relevant clause in the Standard Service Agreement (article 2.2) - Clarifying that Members shall be liable for the actions of their LIR contacts (article 3) - Adding an article which details how we manage planned maintenance, how incidents can be reported. We also added information about security measures and audits (article 4) - Adding subcontractor, service level and data protection information (articles 8.4-8.6) The updated RIPE NCC LIR Account Agreement is available at: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/legal/ripe-ncc-lir-account-agreement/ The RIPE NCC Executive Board Meeting minutes are available at: https://www.ripe.net/about-us/executive-board/minutes/2025/188th-executive-b... You can find more information about DORA and other relevant regulations in the RIPE NCC Trust Portal: https://trust.ripe.net/legal-compliance/ The amendments will come into effect on 13/11/2025.
