<auto-dbm@ripe.net> is slow this afternoon.

17 May '18

Dear Colleagues, Because of a very high level of use this afternoon, the response time of <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net> is longer than normal. I have made contact with those who are responsible and I expect the situation to improve as the machine works through the queue. Please be patient. Obviously we at the RIPE NCC Database Group are continuously working to make the performance of the database as good as possible. However, we cannot make improvements in zero time. We thank you for your co-operation up to now and we ask for your continued co-operation so that everyone receives the best possible service. If you have anymore questions, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Ambrose Magee ____________________________ RIPE Database Administration.

Russian Whois Data Changes
by Denis Walker 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Dear Colleagues We have been informed of changes to Russian telephone area codes. One of our Russian members has asked the RIPE NCC to perform a bulk update on the whois data to reflect these changes. The area codes change on 1 December 2005. If we receive no objections, we plan to make this update two weeks later, on 15 December 2005. If anyone changes the code in their own objects, it will not be affected by this update. List of area codes to be changed. Old format New format Region +7 011 xxxxxxx +7 401 xxxxxxx Kaliningrad +7 071 xxxxxxx +7 471 xxxxxxx Kursk +7 072 xxxxxxx +7 472 xxxxxxx Belgorod +7 073 xxxxxxx +7 473 xxxxxxx Voronezh +7 074 xxxxxxx +7 474 xxxxxxx Lipetsk +7 075 xxxxxxx +7 475 xxxxxxx Tambov +7 081 xxxxxxx +7 481 xxxxxxx Smolensk +7 082 xxxxxxx +7 482 xxxxxxx Tver +7 083 xxxxxxx +7 483 xxxxxxx Bryansk +7 084 xxxxxxx +7 484 xxxxxxx Kaluga +7 085 xxxxxxx +7 485 xxxxxxx Yaroslavl +7 086 xxxxxxx +7 486 xxxxxxx Orel (Oryol, Orlovsk) +7 087 xxxxxxx +7 487 xxxxxxx Tula (Tulsk) +7 091 xxxxxxx +7 491 xxxxxxx Ryazan +7 092 xxxxxxx +7 492 xxxxxxx Vladimir +7 093 xxxxxxx +7 493 xxxxxxx Ivanovo +7 094 xxxxxxx +7 494 xxxxxxx Kostroma +7 095 xxxxxxx +7 495 xxxxxxx Moscow +7 096 xxxxxxx +7 496 xxxxxxx Moscow region Regards Denis Walker Software Engineering Department RIPE NCC

Re: [db-wg] Abuse Complaint procedures
by Dominic Spratley 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Dear der Mouse I can understand your frustration at the apparent lack of response from the RIPE NCC in ensuring address space contacts in the Whois Database are accurate. The RIPE community decided that only the maintainers of objects in the database may make changes to data. The RIPE NCCs role is to implement this decision for the RIPE community. The RIPE Whois Database is a public database and therefore, although we (the RIPE NCC) aid in its operation, we are not responsible for its content. The RIPE community develops and sets policies through an open, bottom-up process of discussion and consensus-based decision making. If you wish to see changes to the policies that the RIPE NCC implement, the RIPE community has published the following process: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/pdp.html We are happy to assist you in drafting any policy proposal you would like to present to the community. The policy proposal template can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/pdp.html#appendix_b If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely, Dominic Spratley, Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC

Re: [db-wg] Abuse Complaint procedures

Hi, >Fine; that means that RIPE's options are limited to bugging the >assignee or revoking the grant of space. Seems somewhat crippled to >me, but that's a RIPE-internal problem (if it's a problem at all). RIPE-internal ? RIR-internal more likely... Do you know any large RIR that does more to handle abuse ? I'm not saying that the actual system is perfect (or even good), but can you tell us which better system you know ? Sincerely, Philippe Bourcier
