to send the first invoice on 19 January. The billing procedure and fee
schedule 2018 are already online:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/payment/billing-procedure-and-fee-schedule-2018

HOUSEKEEPING REMINDER FOR 2018
As we approach the new year, it's a good time to check that your LIR
account details, especially the billing email addresses, are up-to-date.
You can check and update everything at:
https://my.ripe.net/

ALIGNING END USER AND LIR RESOURCE TRANSFERS IN THE LIR PORTAL
We will soon be changing the way that transfers of End User resources
are handled in the LIR Portal by applying the same approach that is
already in place for transfers of LIR resources. This is part of our
work to make updating the RIPE Registry more user-friendly and secure:

RIPE ATLAS ANCHOR SPONSORSHIP CAMPAIGN
The RIPE NCC’s 2017 campaign to sponsor 15 RIPE Atlas anchors has drawn
to a successful close. Sixteen anchor hosts from all across the globe
were granted sponsorship, the extra one having been made possible due to
the lower price of the new v3 anchor hardware. Read more about it on
RIPE Labs:

USING RIPE ATLAS TO UNDERSTAND END USER NETWORK BEHAVIOURS

RIPE Atlas to understand the network behaviours their end users are
experiencing:
