[ncc-announce] [news] Handling LIR Closure Requests

Dear members,

With 2024 just two months away, we'd like to offer some guidance to 
those of you who are considering closing your LIR accounts.

To avoid receiving an invoice for 2024, you can:

- Make a valid request to close your LIR account before the end of 2023.
- Request the closure of an LIR account due to a policy transfer or a 
change in business structure before the end of the year. This request 
must be made with all the necessary information and documentation, and 
you must confirm your intent to close the account in the request.
- Ensure that for policy transfers, the resources are transferable at 
the time of the request.

Automated invoices will be corrected for valid requests received before 
31 December 2023, even if the requests have not been finalised by that date.

We kindly ask you to submit your closure requests, policy transfers and 
notifications of any changes in your business structure as soon as 
possible. Timely submissions are highly appreciated as they help us 
manage our workload effectively. Additionally, submitting these requests 
early will ensure you do not receive automated invoices in Q1 2024. This 
not only streamlines administrative processes for both you and us, but 
also allows us to process your requests more quickly.

If you still need any further information, do not hesitate to contact us 
at <ncc at ripe.net>.

Kind regards,
Marco Schmidt
