Dear Sir/Madam, I found on [1] that users can request permissions to have a large number of requests on the whois service. I would like to request permission for that -- we're talking about 500K requests max. I can provide more details and why this is important to be used in our research. Thanks and best, /giovane [1] https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2005-June/003069.html -- Giovane C. M.

RIPE Bulk WHOIS change anonymization
by Micha 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi Ripe Team, I asked your DB Managers and they suggested to forward my question to you. I hope that I don't unnecessarily spam you, but I couldn't find this in your db-wg archive with a quick look. Question: Is it possible to keep the actual "date" of the "changed:" line unanonymized? By now it's always: changed: unread(a)ripe.net 20000101 I get that you want to protect personal data like the mail adresses in this field, but I can't see how this date could harm anyone. I would like to use this date field for research purpose and I am happy about your answers! Michael Oelke Institute of Information Systems Humboldt-University Berlin
