[ncc-announce] Draft Document: "Closure of LIR and Deregistration of Internet Number Resources"

[Apologies for duplicate emails]

Dear colleagues,

The RIPE NCC, in consultation with external legal experts, created the 
draft procedural document, "Closure of LIR and Deregistration of 
Internet Number Resources". A PDF of the document is available at:
http://www.ripe.net/legal/Closure-of-LIR-and-deregistration-of-INRs_final-draft.pdf

The text of this document is intended to replace sections in two RIPE 
Documents that deal with the closure of LIRs and the deregistration of 
resources:

- Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of ripe-301, "Mergers, Acquisitions, Takeovers 
and Closures of Organisations Operating an LIR". These sections are 
entitled "Closing an LIR" and "When an LIR is Closed by the RIPE NCC", 
respectively.

The original RIPE Document is available at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/mergers.html

- Section 4.2 of ripe-475, "Independent Internet Number Resources - 
Contractual Relationship Changes between sponsoring LIR and End User". 
This section is entitled "Violation of RIPE Policy, Law or Contract".

The original RIPE Document is available at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-475.html

The RIPE NCC would like to receive feedback on this draft document from 
its members and the RIPE community. The RIPE NCC members and the RIPE 
community will have the opportunity to discuss the document on the 
mailing lists and at the RIPE NCC Services Working Group to be held on 
17 November at the RIPE 61 Meeting in Rome.

Best regards,

Axel Pawlik
Managing Director
RIPE NCC
