Hi Johan,
I don’t have any colleagues in this regard – I am an individual, nor
am I employed by LeaseWeb.
This is 100% a mistake, I did NOT give LeaseWeb approval to cease my
probes. They not contacted me about my probes. I’ve opened a ticket
with them as I am thoroughly unimpressed with them, and now with RIPE.
I have transferred the probes back to you and will send you some extra
credits to make up for the mistake.
I feel I may as well close my account, if RIPE will willingly let
probes be ceased then I do not feel inclined to run any. It’s a
shame, I ran 7 probes for the benefit of the wider community.
We do not normally transfer probes but LeaseWeb requested host changes
on their anchors plus some probes. As I had to do the anchors, I figured
I might as well do the probes too asI assumed they were the actual hosts
of the probes... Lesson learned I guess, we won't do this anymore.
Again, my sincere apologies and I hope that you will leave the probes
connected
Kind regards,
Johan
Paul.

Hello,
I’ve just had 2 emails saying that 2 of my software probes
(numbers 1000305 & 1000137) have been transferred to LeaseWeb
NOC. Both these probes (and another) live on LeaseWeb VPSs (one
in NL, one in USA) but I haven’t started or authorised a
transfer. Before I go and shout at then, how could this have
happened?
Checking in ‘My Atlas’ it does indeed no longer show these as
being my problems.
Why would the good people at RIPE allow transfer of 2 of my probes
without my approval?
I moved these probes to a new LeaseWeb account at the specific request
of one of your colleagues.
I will email you privately to give you his contact details so you can
take this up with him. He can then transfer them back to you if you
both believe these should not have been included in the transferlist.
Kind regards,

Paul.
