Hi. Regarding our situation. We have 3 accounts opened this year (for different legal entities). We provided the oficial government documents that confirm M&A procedure. But the NCC doesn't want to merge 2 accounts (of closed organizations) into the 1st account due to it is necessary to convert such accounts into additional account of receiving party, regarding https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-709#transfer36. But there is restriction to transfer the resources during 24 month between accounts of the same member. So we should pay for additional 2 years fees. пн, 17 дек. 2018 г. в 21:12, Jens Ott - Opteamax GmbH <ripe@opteamax.de>:
Which is kind of the point. The 24 month restriction holds, unless one LIR gets bought/merged, and the latter needs to be proved by official documents.
This is also not correct! At least from my experience, the restriction also persists on being bought!
The difference between being bought and merged is, at least from German legal point of view, that in a merge (=Verschmelzung) the $OLD company does not exist any longer but becomes fully integrated into $NEW company, while in buying a company, $OLD stays it's own legal entit y.
From my experience ONLY A MERGE IS accepted by RIPE to not apply 24month restriction, while being bought does not shorten this restrictio n.
