[service] Automated Mails Sent in Error
by Fallon Albrecht 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Dear colleagues, Earlier today, a software change caused us to unintentionally send an automated email to 98 members which informed them that we had terminated their Standard Service Agreement (SSA), and blocked their access to the LIR Portal for a short period of time. We are contacting these members to apologise and inform them that this was an error on our part and reassure them that their SSAs remain valid. We would like to publicly note and apologise for our mistake here. Members who have any questions can email <ncc(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards Fallon Albrecht Functional Application Manager RIPE NCC

[news] Membership Survey on Charging Scheme Principles
by Christian Kaufman 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Dear RIPE NCC members, As Chairman of the RIPE NCC Executive Board, I am asking that you assist the Board in formulating the principles of the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme. In May, we presented on this topic at the General Meeting (GM)[1], and now we want to build on that discussion by consulting with you on the core principles that we should incorporate in our charging schemes for the coming years. To that end, we ask you to complete a survey on the charging scheme that will let us know where the membership stands on some key principles. We expect that in some cases there will not be a clear answer, but we may be able to identify some key principles that most members want to see us apply to the charging scheme. The survey is available to take until 14 September at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/forms/apply/charging-scheme-survey-2021/ Note: you will need to log-in to a RIPE NCC Access account that is associated with an LIR to complete the survey. We will also announce an Open House session in September where the Board will be available to discuss the charging scheme model with members. The Executive Board will examine the results of the survey at its Executive Board meeting on 23 September. We will then bring our analysis and a proposal to the membership at the GM in November. Kind regards, Christian Kaufmann RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman [1] May 2021 GM Presentation: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2021/documentatio…
