    <pre wrap="">Dear Sergey,

Thank you for your email. 

With over 17,500 invoices to send, the RIPE NCC has to work hard to ensure everything is ready to go at the same time. Despite our best intentions, a software bug meant that LIRs that require a special Russian invoice were sent their invoices four days early.

While the invoices were available in the LIR Portal on 15 January, the intention was to distribute them to members on 19 January 2018, as stated in the RIPE NCC Billing Procedure 2018:
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/payment/billing-procedure-and-fee-schedule-2018#invoicing-schedule"><https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/payment/billing-procedure-and-fee-schedule-2018#invoicing-schedule></a>

But rest assured, the 30-day payment term is from the date stated on the invoice - 19 January 2018.

We apologise for any confusion this may have caused but hope that the unintended bonus of an extra four days to pay is a silver lining.  

Warm regards and have a lovely weekend, 

Sonia Garbi Gomez
Finance Manager RIPE NCC
