Dear Pierre, all, In response to your emails, here is some general information on this matter. The RIPE NCC requests that the LIRs provide the RIPE NCC with truthful information, as well as correctly maintain their registration in the RIPE Database at all times. If an LIR fails to do so, the RIPE NCC will terminate the service agreement with this LIR and deregister the Internet number resources allocated to it. More information about this procedure can be found in the RIPE NCC procedural document "Closure of LIR and Deregistration of Internet Number Resources", available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-517 The RIPE NCC handles abuse complaints sent by third parties. Anyone can send a complaint to abuse@ripe.net. As well as the procedures already in place, the RIPE community recently formed the Abuse Contact Management Task Force (ACM-TF), which is examining policy proposals around the issue of managing the abuse contact field in the RIPE Database. More information about the task force can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/groups/tf/abuse-contact Hope this clarifies the existing procedures, if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Athina Fragkouli RIPE NCC
