This was correct. If a new LIR was joined at the end of the year, the LIR had to pay only for the last quarter as well as the sign-up fee.

However, the RIPE NCC Executive Board held it latest meeting on 20 March 2015. 
The Board made a resolution that LIRs that join the RIPE NCC and close within 12 months, have to pay the full annual service fee before commencement of a merger, transfer or a closure procedure.

This means that from now on, an LIR that joins the RIPE NCC in the course of the year (for example in June 2015) and wishes to close before
the end of the year, will have to pay the full service fee for 2015 (rather than the last two quarters as was previously the case) before a
merger, transfer or closure procedure can commence.

An official announcement will follow shortly along with the minutes of the Executive Board Meeting.

Have a lovely weekend.

Sonia
