This will enable you to access various RIPE NCC services using just one password instead of having to sign in to each tool or service separately. RIPE NCC Access is already enabled for IS Alarms and RIPE Labs, and the next service scheduled for migration is the LIR Portal. The migration will be performed on Tuesday, 29 November 2011 starting at 16:00 UTC when the maintenance window opens. Before the migration takes place, we need to temporarily disable the option for LIR Portal administrators to create new users starting on Monday, 28 November 2011 at 16:00 UTC. During this period, you will still be able to access and use the LIR Portal using your current credentials. After the migration is complete, you will no longer be able to log in to the LIR Portal using your old credentials. All LIRs will receive an email on 29 November with further instructions. If you have any questions or comments about this, please contact <<a href="mailto:ncc@ripe.net">ncc@ripe.net</a>>. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC </body></html>
