[ncc-services-wg] Voluntary Transfer Lock Policy

Hello!

I support the proposed policy allowing preventive and voluntary locking of IP resources.

However, some definitions seem too vague to me.  Could you give more details?


1)  "If the RIPE NCC receives a legally binding decision/order related to Internet number resources under a Lock, to Internet number resources under a Lock, the RIPE NCC will have to comply with the order."

Could you please clarity:
What steps does RIPE NCC take when it receives such decision/order? 
Will the holder receive a copy of the decision/order?


2) "The RIPE NCC might also not be able to enforce the Lock if it is against any applicable laws or regulations."

"These situations may have practical and/or legal reasons, although the RIPE NCC should keep the number of exceptions as small as possible."

What practical reason can you foresee?

3) At least 1 month before the lock expires, the RIPE NCC should notify the resource holder with the option to extend it or enter into a new locking agreement.

The RIPE NCC not only should send notification but also make sure that it is received.
And get a comprehensive answer on the need to cancel the Voluntary Transfer Lock.

4) When applying for a Transfer Lock does the holder need to specify the reason for this status? It can help to analyze the applicability of the Policy and revise if needed.

Kind regards,
Svitlana
