[members-discuss] Discussion on LIRs from Donetsk Area

Dear colleagues,

We have reviewed the case under discussion. While the RIPE NCC cannot
share private details relating to specific members, we can confirm that
membership was approved in full compliance with our documented due
diligence procedures:
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-556

In this case, the RIPE NCC requested and received the documentation
required to ensure the existence of the organisation and to prove the
identity of the person signing the Standard Service Agreement.

Following the discussions on this mailing list, the RIPE NCC will review
its due diligence procedures and report to the membership should they
need to be updated in light of current events in our service region.

Finally, and as indicated during these discussions, the RIPE NCC is the
sole Regional Internet Registry for its service region. We must be
careful to ensure that our services are available throughout the service
region to network operators who are entitled to receive them, regardless
of political disputes.

Kind regards,

Axel Pawlik
Managing Director
RIPE NCC
