That's what I'm curious about. Or, what sort of papers they used, and from where. That part does matter, to me. I will have to assume RIPE NCC had enough to feel comfortable with renaming the LIR. In my personal experience, it is somewhat hard to get them to feel comfortable with that, even if you try to move between two very not disputed areas, in mainstream EU-land. It still takes lots of paperwork. So, I guess I wonder what paperwork can really exist in that region at this point, that would be of equal quality and legitimacy to the list of papers I had to submit. As for the politics. I agree; that does not belong here.

As Alexey told you 1) There is no information about “Center of Internet services in DNR” (Центр интернет-поддержки ДНР) in <a href="http://egrul.nalog.ru/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://egrul.nalog.ru/</a> database 2) Donetsk/Lugansk are located in Ukraine (not Russian Federation). If you have alternative point of view please provide us proofs. 3) When Sergey Myasoedov started this discussion the organization address was Lugansk, Russian Federation but now it’s updated to Donetsk, Russian Federation. Both addresses are invalid and don’t meet RIPE policies. I placed Andrea’s email to the CC to pay his attention to this issue.. because this situation is NOT normal and overshadow to RIPE NCC.

As for disputed regions, I realize it is difficult and something perhaps not possible for RIPE NCC to decide who is right in an interim period, and just what a "nation" constitutes. We have to remember that changes in geography usually happens as a result of some sort of war or invasion, and is rarely something all involved parties agree on (except in post-war situations in the form of treaties - and even then, it's a compromise at best after having lost). > > However, having said that, it is curious I had to send about 25 documents back and forth while renaming a LIR and moving it to a different geographical location. The requirements for legal papers issued in both countries were a must then, and I had to submit information from various government entities in both nations. So I do wonder a bit why this was so easily pushed through. Was it perhaps pushed through simply BECAUSE the RIPE NCC felt it was a political issue and not something they should touch (so perhaps they didn't apply full scrutiny to documentation out of fear for touching the untouchables?). > > If I am entirely out of line or out of sync with procedures, I apologize. > > Just an observation. > > PS.

I cant find any references to it in the registries. Also it is not clear what is “national authority” here. Admin-c and tech-c numbers are with Ukrainian prefix. Lugansk is Ukrainian city. DNR itself is a terroristic organization which is located in the Donetsk area (not Lugansk, btw).
