Hi Ronald

Anyone can create a MNTNER object in the RIPE Database. If you don't have any data in there yet then you need to use the 'Create maintainer and person pair' tool to create a first MNMTNER/PERSON pair of objects:

https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/#/webupdates/select

You need to set up a RIPE Access account to do this, but anyone can do that.

I will point out that according to the Terms & Conditions for using the RIPE Database you should have a legitimate purpose for creating data in the database.

cheers

Sorry.  I know this is probably an faq and a dumb question, but can
some kind soul tell me the exact procedure for creating a new RIPE
mntner object?

Does one already have to be a dues-paying member of RIPE NCC in order
to do that?

Where is the form that needs to be filled out and what if any supporting
documentation must be provided?  Birth certificate?  Company incorporation
documents?
