[anti-abuse-wg] RIPE NCC Procedure Regarding LIR Information in the RIPE Database

Dear Pierre, all,

In response to your emails, here is some general information on this 
matter.

The RIPE NCC requests that the LIRs provide the RIPE NCC with truthful 
information, as well as correctly maintain their registration in the 
RIPE Database at all times. If an LIR fails to do so, the RIPE NCC will 
terminate the service agreement with this LIR and deregister the
Internet number resources allocated to it.

More information about this procedure can be found in the RIPE NCC 
procedural document "Closure of LIR and Deregistration of Internet 
Number Resources", available at:
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-517

The RIPE NCC handles abuse complaints sent by third parties. Anyone can 
send a complaint to abuse at ripe.net.

As well as the procedures already in place, the RIPE community recently 
formed the Abuse Contact Management Task Force (ACM-TF), which is 
examining policy proposals around the issue of managing the abuse 
contact field in the RIPE Database. More information about the task 
force can be found at:

Hope  this clarifies the existing procedures, if you have any further 
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,
Athina Fragkouli
