Hi All, while protecting resources and it's holders is very important in distress areas, I have to remind you that Ukraine is a way not a democratic country. If we want really protect resources and holders, we have to avoid any interaction with Ukrainian government in any way. In the practice, "Review of requests by national governments" means you will have to pay a huge bribe to get a letter of authorization from the government. They all understand good the price of transfers... Sorry, it is sad, but true. Any other options are good. The best for me is a "freeze button". Also it is good to allow transfers only from the territories not in distress, so company/person should move the legal address to the clear area. It is quite easy, and is similar than what is doing now. But any push from RIPE NCC to move to the "distress area", i.e. re-registration on the occupied territory by the "laws" existing there is unacceptable. 14.10.22 17:47, Athina Fragkouli пише:
Dear colleagues,
We have recently seen people raising concerns about the risk of illegitimate registry update requests in Ukraine being submitted to the RIPE NCC. We have published an article on RIPE Labs that explains what we have been doing to minimise this risk so far and looks at some additional measures we could implement: https://labs.ripe.net/author/athina/protecting-resource-holders-in-distresse... <https://labs.ripe.net/author/athina/protecting-resource-holders-in-distressed-areas/>
We will also be presenting on this topic in the RIPE NCC Services Working Group at RIPE 85. We are interested in hearing any feedback or suggestions from the RIPE community on this issue.
Regards,
Athina Fragkouli Chief Legal Officer RIPE NCC
