We have continually been processing requests, including those sent after 
20 August. However, some tickets require more time due to the nature of 
the request as well as other factors, and yours falls into this 
category. We will soon contact you directly about your request.

Kind regards,
Marco Schmidt
Registry Services Assistant Manager
RIPE NCC

I can't really believe it since the other members told me about just 1-2 business days delay (that seems completely normal to me). Also, I was notified that our request should be processed till the end of this week and now it's Sunday and we have just a generic "we will get back to you soon".

Requests from some organizations are processed within 1 business day, while others have to wait more than 2 weeks without any deadlines.

The application was processed as usual until we paid the invoice and returned our signed agreement (August 20). After that the whole request got out of control and over the last 10 days we've received only standard replies that the Registry Services team experiences "heavy workload" and our application is postponed again and again without any additional request or explanation.

>>> I have discussed this issue with other members and many of them told me that they have encountered similar problems when submitting various kinds of requests (allocation, assignment, transfers) in the past. It looks like the RIPE NCC can simply stockpile inconvenient, complex or any other requests without any valid reason and for any period of time.
