However, it is not entirely clear to the RIPE NCC why this is useful. We also have some concerns, mainly non-technical, and therefore we believe that the problem statement and motivation needs to be better defined in the working group.
Indeed, I should like to see some use cases that go beyond simple curiosity or "intelligence collection".
Also, how does this affect objects referred to by the "historical" objects? Does this mean that a deleted personal or organisational object will now have to be retrievable forever for historical purposes? Does a "right to be forgotten" exist for ripedb entries?
The current implementation does not show history of personal data. Apart from the legal issues, it is technically not possible to provide reliable personal history because of the way Nic-handles were reused in the past. You cannot query for a MNTNER object so history is also not available for those objects. Not sure if history of ORGANISATION objects is allowed now, but personally I don't think that should be available to anyone outside of the organisation. cheers denis

The next step is to help refine the problem statement. I would appreciate it if working group participants with an interest in the history of objects speak up and elaborate on the issue.
Kind regards,
