[lir-wg] Concerns about billing procedures at RIPE NCC

Dear all,

regarding today's concern about billing at the RIPE NCC,
and the related procedures, I have spent some time this
afternoon to look into the matter.

What I have found gives not raise to concern about procedures,
or the privacy of member's data at the RIPE NCC. It might
be possible, though, to remove some slack from the timeline
of the payment process.

It is our goal to make administrative procedures as efficient
and inobtrusive as possible. To assist us in this undertaking,
please ensure that your billing data you send is as complete
as possible.

Should you have any questions or concerns in this aspect, do not
hesitate to contact either me, or the RIPE NCC's controller,
Jochem de Ruig (jochem at ripe.net), directly.

kind regards,

Axel Pawlik
Managing Director, RIPE NCC
