Hi Ed One thing I'm curious about that has not been mentioned anywhere. Who do you believe is the target audience for this piece of data? Cheers Denis On Mon, 4 May 2026, 17:11 Edward Shryane, <eshryane@ripe.net> wrote:

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.
Thanks for your feedback, it is appreciated.
The NCC is monitoring and collecting data and feedback on this new feature. We will keep this under review and later will decide if and how this attribute and the service around it can be improved.
I will provide a progress update at the DB-WG session at RIPE 92 later this month.
