Community friends,
The urge for action is understandably strong but please, refrain from using this working group as a platform for targeted cyber attacks. Despite where the moral compass may point.
Also this is not the most effective forum for discussing potential sanctions or exceptions for specific RIPE NCC members. I would suggest the ripe-list (www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/) or perhaps the RIPE NCC Services WG (https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/active-wg/services) are more appropriate for airing such concerns. Address Policy - which is the focus of this working group - is applied consistently to all RIPE NCC members.
Regards, James APWG co-chair

Why RIPE NCC ignores EU sanctions against Russia?
Which specific EU sanctions do you think the NCC is ignoring?

Well, the SWIFT ban for certain Russian banks, circumvented via [1], springs to mind. But these things are outside the scope of APWG, as James already pointed out. [1] https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-announce/2022-March/001555.html
I'm not a law-specialist, but while so many companies exits from Russia you are still doing your business there and supporting them, i.e. from Hans words "We have also informed Russian members that they do not risk closure if sanctions-related factors mean they are unable to make payment.". -- Regards, Den 16.03.2022 14:13, Jim Reid wrote:

The sanctions don't prohibit all trade with Russia and most of the companies choosing not to continue it are doing so because they think it will help. I'm sure the RIPE NCC will not be willingly violating law here.

In such a critical time, we see that the RIPE board decided to work with them, to support them... no comments. -- Regards, Den 16.03.2022 22:37, Matthias Merkel wrote:

Dear colleagues, After the recent adoption of EU sanctions against Russia, we’ve seen some confusion about our compliance. We have published an article that explains why the RIPE NCC remains fully compliant with the latest sanctions: https://labs.ripe.net/author/athina/eu-sanctions-and-our-russian-membership/ <https://labs.ripe.net/author/athina/eu-sanctions-and-our-russian-membership/> Kind regards, Athina Fragkouli Chief Legal Officer RIPE NCC

Peace. I am glad to see that RIPE NCC is legally clean. There are questions about humanism but of course this is not a cope of work of RIPE NCC.

In my opinion - it is not. RIPE NCC claims to operate in accordance with its own policies, that are created by the community. Meanwhile, we have a selective treatment of Members in terms of payments without: a) RIPE NCC resolutions b) without annexes to contracts with users. c) policy change Neither the Agreement nor the existing policies allow for discretionary behavior like "this user may not pay, and others must" without formal authorization. Of course Ukraine as an attacked country can and must be treated with any aid, including exemption from payments, when possible. But it has to be passed by a resolution of the RIPE NCC ordinance. The resolution may contain one sentence: "We do not issue invoices to Ukrainian members until the end of the war." Vote: who is in favor? All? The End. On the other end is Russia, as a country that has been subject to sanctions. It should not be of our interest, that they cannot pay. In result, recognizing that Russia users may not pay, because they have "banking difficulties" means, that no one from Russia will pay. Without any consequences. Although they probably can pay. Letting go at this point is very unfair to other Members. I also have a difficult in payment because the Euro exchange rate is very high. Does it interest someone? -- Stary Bezpiecznik
Hi Everyone, Discussion of the charging scheme and how it is applied falls outside the scope of the Address Policy WG. The RIPE NCC's membership has a discussion list. That is the right place to discuss this topic: https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/membership-mailing-lists/sub... It is worth noting that there are active discussions of charging related topics on that list.
