2. Arbiter Discussion
The Board discussed matters related to both this particular arbiter's ruling as well as general cooperation between arbiters and the RIPE NCC. The Board would like to thank Keith Mitchell for dedicating his time to the meeting.
3. Executive Board Resolution
The Board approved the following resolution:
Resolution EB#151-R-01
The RIPE NCC Executive Boards approves the implementation of the arbiter’s ruling on Conflict Arbitration between UMOS LLC and RIPE NCC issued on 7-1-2022 (hereafter: the Ruling). The Board would like to note that a formal approval of arbiter’s rulings is in general not required but in this case the RIPE NCC expressed concerns about the compliance of the Ruling with RIPE policies and RIPE NCC procedures and requested an approval from the RIPE NCC Executive Board in order to implement the Ruling. The Board acknowledges the obligation of the RIPE NCC to comply with the Ruling, in accordance with the RIPE NCC Conflict Arbitration Procedure section 5, and understands that arbiters’ rulings may not create a precedence for future conflicts.
The RIPE NCC Executive Board unanimously adopted the resolution.
4. Closing
The Chairman closed the meeting at 16:00.
