Melnik Tamara

Her verified public role is limited to the admin-c position in the RIPE NCC database for AS211947, which grants the ability to update registry data and act as a point of contact for administrative and abuse inquiries. The actual operation of the exchange—route servers, peering policy, and entity ports—belongs to the affiliated enterprise, not to the individual.

A named registry contact provides a human accountability layer for network operators, incident responders, and registry reviewers dealing with the exchange. Changes to her handle, maintainer records, or company leadership would alter who appears publicly responsible for routing coordination, even if operational control remains with the organisation.

Removal or replacement of the MT17303-RIPE handle could delay administrative responses to routing incidents or resource management requests for AS211947. The impact is indirect but real: it shifts the public face of accountability for a small regional exchange and route server environment.

Melnik Tamara is the public name on RIPE person handle MT17303-RIPE, serving as administrative contact for the Kremen-IX internet exchange (AS211947) operated by PP Vizit-Service in Kremenchuk, Ukraine. Evidence from RIPE records, the exchange’s website, PeeringDB, BGP.tools, and Ukrainian government and business registries collectively show her historic directorship at PP Vizit-Service and her current registry role. However, no current source confirms her present-day employment or operational control; the operational contacts are Alexander Melnik and Oleksandr Melnyk. Watchpoints include changes to the MT17303-RIPE handle, PP Vizit-Service leadership, and the exchange’s peering policy. The link between Latin and Cyrillic name forms relies on a strong but collision-vulnerable match.
