[lir-wg] New service: The RIPE NCC LIR Portal

Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC announces the release of the RIPE NCC LIR Portal. This new
service will help reduce delays by providing LIRs increased access to the
RIPE NCC via a web interface. The beta testing of this service started at
RIPE 43 in September 2002.

In addition to managing registry data, LIRs will be able to make other
queries and updates without going through the RIPE NCC staff. Once the user
is authenticated to the system, they will be able to access LIR specific
resources and all information exchanged will be encrypted to ensure security.

Features of the RIPE NCC LIR Portal include:
- viewing and editing of LIR contact and address information
- viewing of billing information
- viewing of IP and AS resources
- viewing status of open tickets
- news and events

To activate your account, please follow the procedure found at:
https://lirportal.ripe.net/lirportal/activation/activation_request.html

Or you can activate your account at the Hostmaster Centre at RIPE 44 with a
photo ID. Any problems or suggestions can also be shared at the Hostmaster
Centre.

New features of the portal will be added based on response from the community.

We welcome feedback on this new service. Comments can be sent to
<lirportal-feedback at ripe.net>.

Regards,
Axel Pawlik
RIPE NCC
