So the general scheme is SOURCE-NAME-FUNCTION, i.e. RIPE-NCC-MNT ?

Betreff: [db-wg] MNTNER Naming : Consensus
db-wg members,
The chairs of the database working group believe there is a consensus to have a standardised name format for creating new MNTNER objects. There was talk of a prefix (MNT-) or a suffix (-MNT). When creating a new standard it doesn't really make sense to introduce a standard with multiple formats. As there are currently 36347 MNTNERs that end with -MNT and 12480 MNTNERs that start with MNT-, we suggest that the standard should be to end with -MNT.
We ask the RIPE NCC to take the next steps in moving this request forward, conducting an impact analysis, and proceed with implementation.
Best regards.
