[members-discuss] [ncc-announce] [news] LIR Account closure? Notify us by 1 December

Dear Henriette,

Thank you for this timely notification.

I got a question from our community. If an LIR (or multi-LIR) has
received their IPv4 network in December 2018 and would like to make a
transfer in 2020, they should submit a request with the MyLIR portal
no earlier than 731 day after initial allocation, otherwise the system
will not allow the transfer request.
And this mean an invoice for 2021 will be received by the LIR and no
transfer will be possible until full payment.
Does this situation reflect the reality? Will the LIR carry extra
expenses?

Kind regards,
Sergey Myasoedov
