Dear all,

As a result of discussion on this list, I'd like to clarify how RIPE NCC
invoices are sent.

Invoices to all members are sent by regular mail as well as e-mail. If
an invoice needs to be re-sent, regular mail is used. We are happy to
re-send invoices as many times as necessary.

The only time we do not use regular mail is if a member explicitly
requests that their invoice must be sent by registered mail or via DHL
(courier). The RIPE NCC pays to send registered mail. The cost of
sending an invoice by DHL is paid by the member.

It is a misunderstanding that we do not send invoices for Russian
members via registered mail.

We have experienced frequent problems with sending registered mail to
Russia, as the mail does not always arrive or is returned to us. For
this reason, we prefer to use DHL to deliver your invoices. Using this
method, delivery is guaranteed and we want to ensure that the documents
reach you. However, if a member requests that we use registered mail, we
are also happy to use this method.

Unfortunately, our current invoicing system does not enable us to send
all the quarterly invoices together at the beginning of the year. This
means we must continue to send the invoices throughout the year. However
it is possible for you to request that you receive a yearly invoice. For
more information see:

On behalf of the RIPE NCC, I'd like to apologise for any confusion
caused. I hope the information above clarifies our position regarding
mailing documents to Russia.

Kind regards,



Jochem de Ruig
Chief Financial Officer
