[ncc-announce] [news] Updated RIPE NCC Procedural Documents

Dear colleagues, 

A review of two RIPE NCC procedural documents has resulted in slight corrections being made, which are now published on our website. 

1) An update to "Closure of Member and Deregistration of Internet Number Resources" changes section B 2.1, where there was inaccurate RIPE Database terminology used in the description of the procedure. 

The updated document can be found here:

2) An update to "Transfer of Internet Number Resources and Change of Members' Official Legal Name" changes section 3.2 - removing the option for non-members to assume the membership of another LIR (when taking possession of its entire network). According to Dutch law, memberships cannot be transferred. Non-members must sign a Standard Service Agreement (SSA) and become members of the RIPE NCC in order to receive transfers of Internet number resources. No memberships have been transferred in this way, the RIPE NCC has always required an SSA to first be in place. 

The updated document can be found here:
