This is new to us. That is why we are asking you to have a legal representative properly formulate the above claim and document it. We will then escalate to RIPE NCC's management and our legal department will review it.
Normally the legal successor would be listed as such in the chamber of commerce documentation. If he was appointed as liquidator of the closed company, there should also be a court document of him being appointed. That liquidator role would also be reflected in the chamber of commerce document.
If a Russian court will appoint a liquidator, he/she will have the rights to sell the IP addresses in order to settle existing financial claims against the closed company. If a director of the closed company wishes to retain the IP addresses, similar to normal assets, the director can make an agreement with the liquidator. The appointed liquidator can then sign on behalf of the closed company.
> What documents are required? Please provide an example of such a document?
A legal successor would be listed as such in the chamber of commerce (
http://egrul.nalog.ru/). We have downloaded the latest extract from the Russian chamber of commerce, and are not able to find the former owner listed as a legal successor or as a liquidator.
We are not aware of the laws you mention which bypasses the above common practices. We kindly ask you to have a legal representative properly formulate this and provide documentation for our management and legal department to review.
