Dear Working Group, This proposal has lingered around on the mailinglist for some time now, and discussion seems to be finished. I'd like to offer this summary: Add two and remove one attributes to all objects with source: RIPE. * Addition of a "last-modified" attribute, example: last-modified: 2014-04-15T13:15:30Z * Addition of a "created" attribute, example: created: 2014-04-15T13:15:30Z * Deprecation of the "changed:" attribute (in phases!). Object updates that include a "changed:" line should receive a soft warning and not a blocking error, this way existing scripts need not be modified. In some future release 'changed:' lines will no longer be published by the Whois Server, completing the deprecation. The 'last-modified:' and 'created:' attributes will be automatically generated by the RIPE Whois Software. When clients include them in updates the Whois Server will ignore them. Chairs, can we move this forward? Kind regards, Job
