Colleagues
It is just 25 years since I moved to the Netherlands to join the RIPE NCC and become an active member of the RIPE community. It is also exactly 6 weeks to my 70th birthday. So it seems like a good day to write about the RIPE Database that I have spent a quarter of a century supporting one way or another.
Let me start with a recommendation, as I know many of you don't read the detailed explanations I write. I know you deployed reg-nr yesterday, but it can still be changed. I suggest you keep open the issue of the attribute name until the RIPE Meeting. Discuss it in the Database session, then make a final decision.
