For a member with one LIR who has no PI space, the redistribution will be EUR 279. Full details are available at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/info/billing/redistribution… ANNUAL STATEMENT/INVOICING 2017 LIRs can now view their annual statement for 2017 in the LIR Portal, which is an informative statement that includes a detailed specification of the fee to be paid in 2017.

Registration is already open for the lunches in Beirut and Amsterdam. See where we'll be going in 2017 and hopefully we'll see you for lunch. https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/member-lunches RIPE DATABASE - REVERSE DNS WIZARD The Reverse DNS Wizard in the RIPE Database now does even more real-time checks to help users with their configuration. We now offer validation on syntax, TCP and UDP pings on port 53, as well as Start of Authority verification. https://twitter.com/alexander_band/status/811953377059938304 LIR CONTACT MIGRATION Are you an LIR account administrator? Please use the contact migration wizard in the LIR Portal by 1 April 2017 to ensure we have one list of authorised users for each LIR. https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-announce/2017-January/001125.ht… This migration simplifies user management in the LIR Portal while making members' communication with the RIPE NCC more secure. PROCESSING NEW MEMBER APPLICATIONS The RIPE NCC management applied Resolution 3 of the May 2016 General Meeting by extending the procedures to deal with such cases to include new membership applications from related legal entities (with the same contact person, directors, owners, applicant, etc.) The RIPE NCC Executive Board therefore declares that new membership applications from related legal entities should be processed according to the additional LIR account procedure; one application should be processed at a time. MOVING FORWARD WITH ALLOCATED PI/ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED Based on feedback from the Address Policy Working Group, we are now preparing to contact all LIRs that have resources in the RIPE Database with the status ALLOCATED PI or ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED. We will follow a case-by-case basis to resolve this issue. The aim is to bring clarity in regard to PI assignments made by these LIRs for both the resource holders and the LIRs, and to consistently apply RIPE policies to all ASSIGNED PI address space in the RIPE Database. https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2016-August/01166… RIPE ATLAS VIDEO Check out our new video highlighting how you can use RIPE Atlas to troubleshoot connectivity issues in your network: https://youtu.be/Z3SW2vO8qW0 RIPEstat ROUTING HISTORY WIDGET The Routing History Widget provides you with a historical view of the visibility and originators of a prefix. https://stat.ripe.net/widget/routing-history#w.resource=2001:67c:2e8::/48 All RIPEstat widgets are listed at: https://stat.ripe.net/widget/list TRAINING COURSES AND WEBINARS Is there a RIPE NCC Training Course coming to your country?

[news] Please Migrate LIR Contracts by 1 April 2017
by Alex Band 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Dear colleagues, On 29 September 2016, we announced that we simplified user management in the LIR Portal while making communication with the RIPE NCC more secure for our members: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-announce/2016-September/001093.… We requested that an administrator for your LIR account go through a migration wizard to ensure there is a single list of authorised user accounts. If you have not yet done this, please migrate as soon as possible: https://my.ripe.net/#/contacts On 1 April 2017, we will remove any remaining LIR Contacts that have not been migrated. After that, these contacts will no longer be able to communicate with the RIPE NCC on the LIR's behalf - only people with an authorised user account will be able to. For most interactions with the RIPE NCC, such as requesting or transferring resources, a user account with LIR Portal access is required already. Administrators can always create a user account at any point if necessary. If the administrator for your LIR account does not currently have access to the LIR Portal, please see instructions here on how to get access: https://lirportal.ripe.net/getting_started If you have any questions about migrating your contacts or about your LIR account, please contact <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC
