Ms. Wijte, I can't thank you enough for following up on my queries.
The information you've provided will be really very helpful, I think.

Further to this whole discussion, I have just a couple of additional
brief question about these seven fully completed non-financial member
terminations that you have processed in 2015 and so far in 2016:

First, among these seven completed non-financial member terminations,
can you state how many of those cases involved members who were or
are "natural persons"?

Second, I am looking at this document which seems to be the current
version of the RIPE Standard Service Agreement:

    https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-626

I am specifically looking at Section 9, "Term and Termination".  I am
not an attorney, so I hope that you can help me to correctly interpret
that Section.

In your opinion, would it be accurate to say that following the
termination of one of these RIPE Standard Service Agreements
RIPE NCC does not have any sort of ongoing "duty of care" with
respect to the terminated member, I mean, you know, AFTER the
termination?  (I do not see anything in Section 9 that calls for any
kind of ongoing duty which is binding upon either party, after
termination of The Agreement, but perhaps I just missed something.)

Thanks again for your input.  I certainly find it most helpful,
and I believe that others here will too.
