Dear RIPE NCC members, We would like to inform you that a request to close an LIR account or any request that will result in the closure of an LIR account should be submitted in full before 15 December 2018. This includes closures that result from policy transfers and changes in business structures. Any requests submitted after this date mean that you could be invoiced for 2019. The request should contain all the requested information and documents in order for RIPE NCC to process it before the end of the year. An overview of the required documents can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/requ... For requests resulting in the closure of an LIR account that are submitted later than 15 December 2018, or requests that are incomplete, we can not guarantee that the LIR account will be closed before 31 December 2018. Invoices for 2019 will be issued for LIR accounts still open on 1 January 2019. Best regards, Henriette van Ingen Customer Services Assistant Manager RIPE NCC
