Dear colleagues, Following up from the article published last week on RIPE Labs 'From 80 to 8,000 - The Growth of the RIPE NCC Membership', we now looked at those members that closed in the meantime. How many of them were victims of the burst of the dotcom bubble? And which countries were mostly affected? How many closures were the results of mergers? Find some answers on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/why-do-lirs-close Kind Regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC
