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

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.

Hello Elvis, Thanks for your comments. The RIPE NCC, with input from the working group chairs, are currently investigating a solution for all of the RIPE community mailing lists, which we hope will have as little negative impact as possible on those users who do not have DMARC enabled. We are hoping to have this solution tested and rolled out on all of our managed lists as soon as we can and we appreciate your patience in the meantime. Many thanks, Adam Castle Web Services RIPE NCC >> *From: *Elvis Daniel Velea <elvis(a)velea.eu <mailto:elvis@velea.eu>> >> *Subject: **Re: [db-wg] Whois release 1.89 deployed to the Release >> Candidate Environment* >> *Date: *24 May 2017 at 18:23:16 GMT+2 >> *To: *Tim Bruijnzeels <tim(a)ripe.net <mailto:tim@ripe.net>> >> *Cc: *db-wg(a)ripe.net <mailto:db-wg@ripe.net> >> >> Hi Tim, >> >> I can not believe that you guys still can not fix the mailing list to >> show the e-mails correctly. >> >> They currently (for the past few months) appear on an iPhone as attached : >> >> >> >> elvis >> >> Excuse the briefness of this mail, it was sent from a mobile device. >> >>> On May 24, 2017, at 06:38, Tim Bruijnzeels via db-wg <db-wg(a)ripe.net >>> <mailto:db-wg@ripe.net>> wrote: >>> >>> <mime-attachment> >

Thank the people that invented DMARC, consciously breaking mailing lists, and declaring that "not our problem".

Hi Tim, I can not believe that you guys still can not fix the mailing list to show the e-mails correctly.

Dear Working Group, We found two minor issues while 1.89 was in the Release Candidate Environment. #1 Abuse contact information was sometimes returned incorrectly for ASNs #2 The “Zonemaster” configuration was incorrect We had a fix ready for the first issue and therefore we deployed release 1.89.1 to production on 22 May as planned. The fix for the second issue was deployed on 23 May. Note that “Zonemaster” is not enabled yet in production. Although this was tested in the Release Candidate environment, and we don’t expect issues, we plan to enable “Zonemaster” in production manually, knowing that we have the option to revert without the need for a new release in case unforeseen issues are still found. We will send an announcement about this change to this working group before we do.

NWI-7: abuse-c implementation request
by William Sylvester 22 May '17

22 May '17

DB-WG Members, Support was shown for the proposal NWI-7 and no objections were raised after this round of discussion. At this time, the chairs request that the RIPE NCC schedule implementation of NWI-7 as described. This request is to add the "abuse-c:" attribute directly to the INET(6)NUM and AUT-NUM resource objects. The db-wg therefore ask the RIPE NCC to prepare an impact analysis, followed by an implementation plan and timeline for this request and the other issues raised in the problem statement of NWI-7 as follows: 1) Add the "abuse-c:" attribute to the INETNUM, INET6NUM and AUT-NUM objects 2) Adjust the query logic to take account of 'local' "abuse-c:" attributes in preference to those referenced in ORGANISATION objects 3) Allow both local and indirect references (via ORGANISATION objects) to "abuse-c:" attributes to operate hierarchically 4) Deprecate "abuse-mailbox:" attribute from PERSON, ORGANISATION, MNTNER and IRT objects. 5) Clean up data relating to the deprecated attributes. 6) Update the 'person' keyword to take account of "abuse-c:" Thank you all for your work on this proposal! Kind regards, William on behalf of DB-WG co-chairs

First RIPE NCC webinar for law enforcement
by Richard Leaning 17 May '17

17 May '17

Hi all, Some of you are aware that the RIPE NCC has been actively engaging with law enforcement across Europe to help them gain a better understanding of RIPE NCC tools and services that might be of use in cybercrime investigations - including the RIPE Database. After the discussion that took place during the Database Working Group session at RIPE 74 last week (https://ripe74.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/db-wg/<https://ripe74.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/db-wg/), I thought some of you might be interested in learning about a new initiative by the RIPE NCC, in collaboration with Europol and CEPOL (the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training), to offer a series of six webinars tailored specifically to police, law enforcement and judiciary working in the area of cybercrime. The first of these took place on 15 May, with more than 400 cybercrime agents participating from across Europe: https://www.ripe.net/publications/news/ripe-ncc-webinars-for-law-enforcement We’ll publish a more detailed article on RIPE Labs when the webinar series concludes next month. Kind regards, Richard Leaning External Relations RIPE NCC
