Please take care in your own communication, that the IP addresses are not a property of the customer itself, but the right to have an registration for those addresses. This difference is important. Do not spread the word that “IP addresses were seized”.

Betreff: [CPWG] Fwd: [address-policy-wg] New on RIPE Labs: A First for the RIPE NCC - Seizure of the “Right to Registration of IPv4 Addresses” for the Recovery of Money

 

Hello all,

we don't often discuss IP addresses, except when speaking about IPv6. But on this occasion, something from the Address Supporting Organisation (ASO) made the news. An interesting first.
Kindest regards,

Olivier

We recently processed our first IPv4 transfer on the basis of a Dutch court order. In this RIPE Labs article, we provide an overview of the case and look at how things will work moving forwards:
