Dear Matt, I have a question regarding new ticketing system. Some days ago I sent an email and attached a file to my message. I received a receipt of ticket, then the NCC staff member replied to my question and I received a mail that contain a previous email content and a weblink to the file I attached before. The link was active and I was able to download the file. The link points to https://ripencc.zendesk.com/attachments/token/blablabla/?name=filename. The problem I see is that ripencc.zendesk.com is a hostname on the server in a cloud, the network is assigned to an Irish company and it seems that the file storage is not under RIPE NCC's control. This hostname is not reachable over IPv6, but this is not the issue I wish to discuss now. Can you clarify whether e-mail attachments/archives at RIPE NCC are stored at the third party servers? Do you think it is acceptable? Thank you. -- Kind regards, Sergey Myasoedov

Dear Colleagues,
Today, the RIPE NCC launches its new ticketing system. There is a RIPE Labs article that explains the background behind this change at: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/AlexBand/ticketing-and-document-management-at-...
This change will mostly impact RIPE NCC staff and will not change how you deal with the RIPE NCC. You should still make requests for resources, transfers, company name changes, etc. through your LIR account via my.ripe.net.
All your questions and reports can be channeled through our new contact form, which combines the old contact and report form functionality. The new form also presents suggested content to users that can help to provide them with useful information. The form is available at: https://www.ripe.net/contact-form
Submissions made through the form will be ticketised and all documentation will be stored separately and securely in the RIPE NCC's Document Management System.
Please reply to the emails you receive to ensure your ticket is updated. You should add your replies to tickets at the top of your email and not reply "in line". Additional documentation can be submitted via the My Tickets functionality available to LIR account holders at: https://my.ripe.net/#/tickets
We have planned the migration to have as little impact as possible. If you do experience any delays in response during this period, please bear with us. And if you have any questions, please let me know.
Best regards,
Matt Parker Business Analyst - Product Management RIPE NCC
