Updating inet6num objects with a legacy status attribute
by leo vegoda 06 Aug '02

06 Aug '02

Dear Colleagues, The RIPE Database server, whois.ripe.net, has been updated to allow the new status attributes specified in the document: "New Values of the 'status:' Attribute for inet6num Objects" <http://www.ripe.net/docs/new-value-status.html> The status values of all inet6num objects maintained by the RIPE NCC have been updated as appropriate. We would be grateful if everyone maintaining inet6num objects would update them to use the new status attribute values. The RIPE NCC will use the "ASSIGNED" status value to determine the HD ratio when it receives a request for an additional IPv6 allocation. A request form for additional IPv6 allocations will be published in the near future. Best regards, -- leo vegoda RIPE NCC Registration Services

Dear Colleagues, Unfortunately several (136) update messages were not processed by the RIPE Database today, 5 August 2002. We are reluctant to re-process them as this may override the changes that might have been made afterwards. If you haven't received an acknowledgement to the update you sent to the RIPE Database today, please re-submit it again. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this caused. Best regards, Andrei Robachevsky DB Group Manager RIPE NCC
