Dear colleagues, The LIR Portal is back online but the problem is not completely fixed. If you create ticket requests involving documents they will be received, but they could take longer to be processed.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards, Theo -- Theodoros Polychniatis Assistant Manager SW Engineering Dept. RIPE NCC
