I just got response from the denic regarding my questions about future updates to handles. As it seems the change of Handles will now only be possible for members of the Denic eG, so many smaller providers who aren't members, but are buying their domains from another one will have to redirect all changes to this member. I treat this as a very brain-damaged system.
In the meanwhile we have Handles with the same key XYZ-RIPE, with different contents in RIPE-db and DeNIC-db (not only the missing remarks, but also phone and fax, and if someone makes changes to one of the two handles the other will keep the old data).
F*ck. Then we'll have \S+-RIPE Handles in the DENIC-DB that are inconsistenc against the Handles in the RIPE-DB. Who has planned this? When can't DENIC at least reference RIPE-Handles instead of their own ones?
Why has this mess had to happen?
And why do I have the feeling I got not really informed by DENIC prior this happening about the changes? Sascha --- Sascha E.
