Once our tools are ready, we will need to manually add the legal address for all End Users. At the time of writing, the total number of End Users that hold Provider Independent resources is 19,383.
This will be an extreme amount of manual work for close to no gain, assuming the average time for each end user is 1 minute for the update (I can't imagine the average being less). This will take 2 months of full time work from a person. I mean considering that there are quite a few people working at the NCC it is ofc possible but still feels like a huge waste of resources if this data isn't critical. Additionally I think a lot of these addresses might be outdated, as afaik there is no requirement for the LIR to give RIPE NCC an updated agreement if the End User changes legal address. - Cynthia On Wed, Dec 16, 2020 at 7:56 PM Stefania Fokaeos via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net<mailto:db-wg@ripe.net>> wrote: Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that we have implemented Phase 1 of NWI-10: Definition of Country. The following updates took place as part of the implementation: 1. ORGANISATION objects with "org-type:" 'LIR' have been updated to include a new "country:" attribute. The Country Code displayed in this attribute is the country in which the resource holder is legally based 2. The Country Code (CC) has also been updated in the Extended Delegated Statistics file when there was a mismatch between the file and the new attribute. These resources have now as "CC" the same Country Code that is visible in the respective ORGANISATION object If you notice that your Country Code is incorrect, you can contact us. Please note that we might ask you for supporting documentation to justify the update. In the meantime, we are continuing to work towards Phase 2 of NWI-10 and will keep you updated about our progress. You can read more about our implementation plan and the different phases of NWI-10 on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/stefania_fokaeos/our-plan-to-fix-country-codes If you have any questions about the implementation of NWI-10, please send an email to <support@ripe.net<mailto:support@ripe.net>> or <policy-implementation@ripe.net<mailto:policy-implementation@ripe.net>>. Happy Holidays and warm wishes for 2021! Kind regards, Stefania Stefania Fokaeos RIPE NCC
