And yes, you want to split the 2.8M deletions into something of value. How about taking the last few "changed" tags, eliminate those with ripe.net references, and then create individual files with the objects deleted sorted by the change tag info. Protect them by user/pswd and send it only to the person listed in the changed tag. -Hank
Dear Hank,
I can think of a couple of reasons for requesting this but bear in mind:
-We are talking about the deletion of around 2.8 million objects -The only potential link between a person and a country is the address field, which does not necessarily contain a country - Exposing such a list would make a spammers dream. We have tried to protect personal information in the RIPE Database by preventing buld download of personal information and controlling the rate of queries. If we now expose a list of all this information we will doing precisely what we want to avoid
Could you put forward some arguments for having this data exposed so we can all weight pros and cons?
Thanks, Joao Damas RIPE NCC

Can a list of "to be deleted" objects per country be posted or if not, how about after the fact, as to which objects have been deleted per country?
