    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New
        Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New
        Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">We will soon be changing
        the way that transfers of End User resources are handled in the
        LIR Portal, by applying the same approach that is already in
        place for transfers of LIR resources. This is part of our work
        to make updating the RIPE Registry more user-friendly and
        secure. </span></p>
    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New
        Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New
        Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Once the change has been
        implemented, only the sponsoring LIR will be able to initiate a
        transfer of End User resources. This will allow automated checks
        to see that the resources are eligible to be transferred, and
        prevent typos or multiple requests being submitted for the same
        resources. It will also make the process more efficient on our
        end. </span></p>
