[members-discuss] Policy violation

Dear Aleksey and all,

We would like to clarify the situation because the policy refers to
transfers between RIPE NCC members and not transfers between the LIR
accounts that members might hold. A member may hold multiple LIR accounts.

Regarding the section that you refer to in the procedure, please see the
mail that was sent to the NCC Announce mailing list in October:
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ncc-announce/2018-October/001286.html

This message explains how the RIPE NCC processes transfers of IPv4
address space or 16-bit ASNs due to a merger, acquisition or any other
change in business structure.

We hope this clarifies that no policy violation has taken place. A
merger or acquisition is possible at any time and must take place
following the processes outlined in the email.

Kind regards,

Marco Schmidt
Policy Officer
RIPE NCC
