Dear colleagues,
The RIPE NCC Procedural document 'Closure of Members, Deregistration of
Internet Resources and Legacy Resources' has been reviewed and updated. The
following is an overview of the amendments made.
Section A.1.2.1 (c) Incorrect registration in the RIPE Database was amended
through the deletion of the following wording:
“The inetnum and the inet6num object(s) for approved assignments must use the
netname(s) approved by the RIPE NCC and not be larger than the size approved by
the RIPE NCC”
The reason for this change is that the RIPE NCC no longer approves assignments
or netnames in this regard. Deletion of this wording under the abovementioned
section therefore aligns current practices with the procedure outlined in
‘Closure of Members, Deregistration of Internet Resources and Legacy Resources’.
Section B 1. (c) Deregistration of Internet Number Resources was amended for
the same reason, with the same wording being deleted under this section as
outlined above.
Section B.1. (b) Deregistration of Internet Number Resources was further
amended in order to correctly reflect current RIPE policy with regards to the
needs-based approach for RIPE NCC-assigned resources. Resources are no longer
allocated for a specific need. However, the RIPE NCC may assign resources to
members/End Users for a specific need. Slight changes were made to the wording
under this section to remove reference to historical RIPE policy provisions and
to align it with current RIPE policy.
Secondly, the RIPE NCC Transfer Agreement Template has been reviewed and
updated. The following articles have been added:
“2.1 The terms and conditions of this Transfer Agreement do not violate any
existing laws applicable to the Offering Party or to the Receiving Party.
2.2 In the event that this Transfer Agreement is nullified or deemed invalid
due to violation of laws described in Article 2.1, the transfer of registration
of Internet Number Resources shall be reverted and the Internet Number
Resources shall be returned to the Offering Party”.
In light of a request for transfer of Internet Number Resources, the RIPE NCC
was made aware of a law prohibitingcertain transactions between Ukrainian and
Russian entities.
Considering that different national laws might be applicable to the parties
signing a transfer agreement, these articles were added in order for the RIPE
NCC to have the parties’ confirmation that the Transfer Agreement does not
violate any of the laws applicable to them, and their agreement that, in the
event that the Transfer Agreement is nullified or deemed invalid due to
violation of such laws, the transfer will be reverted and the Internet Number
Resources will be returned to the Offering Party.
Members are advised to use the updated Transfer Agreement template (v6.0) from
the date of this announcement onwards.
