[members-discuss] LIR invoices for Ukrainian companies

Hi all,

Hold on.
As everyone knows, Syria has been in a state of civil war since 2011, 
Georgia survived the invasion in 2008, Iran has been under tough 
sanctions for many years, Iraq, we all know about Iraq, Lebanon 
experienced turmoil in 2019 and explosion that devastated capital city 
in 2020 and unofficial capital controls since 2019, which made payments 
to RIPE a big struggle.
Therefore i agree that the redistribution of payments of specific 
country due to invasion or natural disaster is possible only if RIPE 
position on this matter is formalized and applied equally to all RIPE 
members.
For example, i know that Lebanon and Syria are now in a very difficult 
economic situation, on the edge of famine, and for them even an 
additional payment of $100 is a huge amount. I'm speaking about 
situation in region as foreigner living in Lebanon.

P.S. It may be worth setting up a payment assistance fund for the 
affected countries, where those who can afford - can contribute.
