RIPEstat PREVIEW - LIRs WITH IPv6 PER COUNTRY
There is a preview of a widget that shows how the number of LIRs with

countries of the RIPE NCC service region and we'd like your feedback on it.

ARE RIPE ATLAS PROBES IN THE NETWORKS WHERE THE INTERNET USERS ARE?
We're looking at where RIPE Atlas probes are relative to where the users
are. This is a first attempt so we'd like to know what you think. If you
have feedback, please contact Emile Aben at the RIPE NCC <eaben at ripe.net>.

your company change name, or was it acquired by another company? Do not
take any risks and check it online. Please let us know if any updates
need to be made via my.ripe.net <https://my.ripe.net/#/update-registry>.
