Sure.

consensus, made a huge problems to UA community in the time of hot war.

Hello.
Just explain to me.
Why, on the basis of a few people, were some rules adopted that
apply to the whole country?
Why has no one suggested discussing these rules with the Ukrainians?
Why does RIPE accept the rules of a group where there are not even
people who would have been in Ukraine during the war?
And how can someone make decisions about how to certify documents if
he has no idea how it works during a war?
Why are Russians not blocked??? Why are these conditions accepted by us?
For what? To help conserve resources? Has anyone asked for this?
Ukrainians asked?
Or requested by some persons associated with Ucontrol
Checkbox: I want to save resources or not. It's all.
Or take a survey about how I would like to conserve my resources.
Do not complicate the already difficult life of Ukrainians.

Dear colleagues,
I want to update you on measures to protect the resources of RIPE NCC
members in Ukraine following my last email in October[1].
After discussions with our Executive Board, we are now ready to begin
implementation of a ‘voluntary registry lock’ in the LIR Portal. This
will be available for all RIPE NCC members, including those in Ukraine,
on an opt-in basis. The lock will allow members to prevent their
resources from being transferred for a defined period. We expect
technical implementation to be completed before the end of the year.
The authority to implement this feature comes from a Board resolution
that was passed at the 163rd RIPE NCC Executive Board Meeting on 14-15
December 2022. The effect of the resolution is that Members and End
Users (represented by their sponsoring LIRs) will be allowed to request
the prevention of their resources from being transferred for a
period of
six months. And all transfer requests from Ukraine, including the
pending ones, will only be processed if accompanied by notarised
supporting documents. We will contact all Ukrainian members with
pending
transfers to make sure they are aware of these requirements. And for
members with pending transfers who wish to make them before the end of
the year, we will not charge fees for 2023 if these extra requirements
mean that the LIR accounts in question cannot be closed by the end
of 2022.
The Board made this resolution taking into account:
- The concerns expressed by Ukrainian members at the RIPE 85 Meeting in
October 2022
- The RIPE NCC’s commitment to be neutral and impartial
- The time needed for the formation of a permanent solution addressing
these concerns through the Policy Development Process (PDP)
- The RIPE community’s support to accommodate a temporary solution
This resolution comes with an expiry date of 1 July 2023. We hope that
the RIPE community will use this time to agree on a policy proposal
that
gives us a clear mandate to provide this lock as a lasting solution to
all members who see the need for it. Our Policy Officer is available to
offer guidance and administrative support to get the proposal through
the RIPE Policy Development Process.
From comments at RIPE 85, we understand that some people do not think
this should be a policy matter. However, as we explained at that
meeting, the RIPE NCC cannot limit the transfer rights of paying
members
without either a solid legal basis or a clear mandate from the RIPE
community.
It is in this context that we must note that the lock will not prevent
resources from being transferred in cases of merger or acquisition. It
will also not prevent transfers in cases where a bankrupt company goes
into liquidation.
Finally, in my last email, I said that requests from Ukraine would
receive the ‘highest levels of due diligence’, and I want to explain
what this means. In recent years, we have developed a framework that
describes what information our staff will ask for when handling
requests. By applying the strongest approach within this framework, we
will be going beyond our standard requirements and asking to verify
additional documents. With the passing of this resolution, transfers
will follow the process outlined here and will not be escalated to the
Managing Director for approval.
We hope that our Ukrainian members will understand that this is part of
our efforts to protect their resources.
As mentioned above, we will share more specific information on the
registry lock before the end of the year – including how it can be
activated and by whom, and what it does and does not restrict.
Kind regards
Hans Petter Holen
Managing Director
