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
