<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Dear colleagues, In the final quarter of 2013, the RIPE NCC launched the Assisted Registry Check (ARC) for our members. This enhancement to the RIPE NCC's audit activities was initiated after feedback from members indicated that our earlier audit process could do with some improvement. The initial group of Assisted Registry Checks were concluded in the first quarter of 2014 and the RIPE NCC has carried out an in-depth review of the feedback we received. The results of this review have now been published in the following RIPE Labs article: <a href="https://labs.ripe.net/Members/matt_parker/assisted-registry-check-first-results">https://labs.ripe.net/Members/matt_parker/assisted-registry-check-first-results</a> We have also incorporated this feedback into our procedures for future Assisted Registry Checks, to ensure they remain useful and relevant for our members. If you would like to volunteer for an Assisted Registry Check, please send an email to <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:lir-help@ripe.net"><lir-help@ripe.net></a> and we will contact you with further details. Kind regards, Matt Parker Registration Services RIPE NCC </body> </html>
