Dear Colleagues, Effective Tuesday 8 June 2004, the procedure for becoming a new RIPE NCC LIR will be updated. The modified procedure is meant to improve the time to completion for a new LIR to become a member and improve the customer service and support given to new LIRs. Correct information supply and an automated web form, along with online help text and real-time syntax checking, will make the process more clear, easier to use and will replace the need for lengthy documents. More information on the new LIR procedure can be found at: www.ripe.net/ripencc/new-mem/ Regards, The RIPE NCC
