    <p>As I understand people who started that topic:</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>1. They have several LIRs for one company.</p>
    <p>2. Last LIR was opened in 2nd quarter of this year, and payments
      are QUARTERLY.<br>
    </p>
    <p>3. They wish to transfer resource from ANOTHER LIR (NOT the last
      one was opened this year).<br>
    </p>
    4. RIPE NCC issued the invoice for that ANOTHER LIR for 1st quarter,
    when that LIR did not exists.<br>
    <br>
    5. To let the transfer from FIRST LIR, they have to paid for 1st
    quarter of the SECOND LIR, which was opened in 2nd quarter.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    So, it violates points 1 and 2(3) of what you said below (and common
    sense, of course).<br>
