Restricting the Acquisition of Additional LIR Accounts
Restricting the Acquisition of Additional LIR Accounts

The RIPE NCC Executive Board has decided to temporarily restrict members' ability to acquire additional Local Internet Registry (LIR) accounts. Taking effect on Tuesday, 29 September, the restriction also covers requests already in progress. The decision is a first step towards addressing the administrative burden of multiple accounts, while allowing related questions about IPv4 allocations from the IPv4 Waiting List to be discussed within the RIPE community.
