If I see no clear reason for some action, I will come up with the most
appropriate one. And it is not good for sure. Because it looks like this
I said.

Dear colleagues,

I want to update you on measures to protect the resources of RIPE NCC
members in Ukraine following my last email in October[1].

After discussions with our Executive Board, we are now ready to begin
implementation of a ?voluntary registry lock? in the LIR Portal. This
will be available for all RIPE NCC members, including those in Ukraine,
on an opt-in basis. The lock will allow members to prevent their
resources from being transferred for a defined period. We expect
technical implementation to be completed before the end of the year.

The authority to implement this feature comes from a Board resolution
that was passed at the 163rd RIPE NCC Executive Board Meeting on 14-15
December 2022. The effect of the resolution is that Members and End
Users (represented by their sponsoring LIRs) will be allowed to request
the prevention of their resources from being transferred for a period of
six months. And all transfer requests from Ukraine, including the
pending ones, will only be processed if accompanied by notarised
supporting documents. We will contact all Ukrainian members with pending
transfers to make sure they are aware of these requirements. And for
members with pending transfers who wish to make them before the end of
the year, we will not charge fees for 2023 if these extra requirements
mean that the LIR accounts in question cannot be closed by the end of 2022.

The Board made this resolution taking into account:
- The concerns expressed by Ukrainian members at the RIPE 85 Meeting in
October 2022
- The RIPE NCC?s commitment to be neutral and impartial
- The time needed for the formation of a permanent solution addressing
these concerns through the Policy Development Process (PDP)
- The RIPE community?s support to accommodate a temporary solution

This resolution comes with an expiry date of 1 July 2023. We hope that
the RIPE community will use this time to agree on a policy proposal that
gives us a clear mandate to provide this lock as a lasting solution to
all members who see the need for it. Our Policy Officer is available to
offer guidance and administrative support to get the proposal through
the RIPE Policy Development Process.

 From comments at RIPE 85, we understand that some people do not think
this should be a policy matter. However, as we explained at that
meeting, the RIPE NCC cannot limit the transfer rights of paying members
without either a solid legal basis or a clear mandate from the RIPE
community.

It is in this context that we must note that the lock will not prevent
resources from being transferred in cases of merger or acquisition. It
will also not prevent transfers in cases where a bankrupt company goes
into liquidation.

Finally, in my last email, I said that requests from Ukraine would
receive the ?highest levels of due diligence?, and I want to explain
what this means. In recent years, we have developed a framework that
describes what information our staff will ask for when handling
requests. By applying the strongest approach within this framework, we
will be going beyond our standard requirements and asking to verify
additional documents. With the passing of this resolution, transfers
will follow the process outlined here and will not be escalated to the
Managing Director for approval.

We hope that our Ukrainian members will understand that this is part of
our efforts to protect their resources.

As mentioned above, we will share more specific information on the
registry lock before the end of the year ? including how it can be
activated and by whom, and what it does and does not restrict.

Kind regards

Hans Petter Holen
Managing Director
RIPE NCC

Awesome! Thank you and the board for getting this difficult step done.

+1 much appreciated!

After making so much noise I feel I should volunteer here :)

I still think that limiting an LIR based on their own request shouldn?t be a problem, but ok, let?s work together on this and get a policy.

> It is in this context that we must note that the lock will not prevent resources from being transferred in cases of merger or acquisition. It will also not prevent transfers in cases where a bankrupt company goes into liquidation.

Sensible limitations, I have no problem with them.

> Finally, in my last email, I said that requests from Ukraine would receive the ?highest levels of due diligence?, and I want to explain what this means.

Sounds good, you shouldn?t need to involve yourself in the workflow. You have very experienced staff for that :)

Dear Hans,

I see a lot of words, but only one fact: it is unable to make a transfer
since October because of (unofficial) ban exists.

You did not have mandate (consensus) from the community, but in fact you
did it.

Please, retire yourself from your position. Save the RIPE/RIPE NCC
relations!
