Yes there's usually a lot to think about in terms of implementation specifics. I'd be of the opinion that it would best to leave this to the RIPE NCC to work out what's the most sensible thing to do. Tying operational details down in a policy statement is usually not a good idea unless the person writing the policy has a complete view of all the subtleties in question, which personally I don't, or where it's operationally advisable to specify the details in policy, which I don't see a case for here. I'm happy for the RIPE NCC to handle the specifics in this situation. If it turns out that this causes problems for operators in the future, that discussion can happen.

Incidentally, iso27001 / soc2 compliance will mean that they'll need internal documentation, so in due course, there'll be an documented procedure for handling this.

public holidays in NL are not always the same as in other countries, this could generate complaints.

having the thing automated removes the burden of checking worldwide public holiday calendars from the NCC and gives nice fixed numbers to work with.

24x7 NOCs are there on public holidays too, in case they miss all of the pre-revocation notifications.

there are probably more arguments for both options, the revocation should happen anyway to clean things up, +/- a few days make no difference when you have unresponsive CAs since 2023.

best,

nitpicking: to avoid CAs being deregistered at different intervals after short months like February the 3 months could be specified as 90 days.

"more than three months" should give the RIPE NCC enough leeway not to be forced to take action on specific days which was a bad idea, for example, having a revocation happen on a public holiday and that sort of thing.

The point is that the delegation is revoked after notice, and enough time for the operator in question to take action. The specific day is not that relevant, i.e. if it's + a couple of days, that's not that big a deal.
