Hello, and thank you for your answer. But I think I need to be spoonfed about this?

Denis has already provided a good answe. But let me help more with an example.

So according to the rules, the NIC-handle can be something like this:

ALE-ADMIN-C ?

No, you may not have 2 dashes in the NIC handle. You can only have a NIC handle of the form: XXX or XXX-YYY The first part (XXX) has to start with 2-4 letters, and optionally up to 6 digits. The -YYY part is optional, but if present, must be a dash, followed by up to 9 letters. Here are some valid examples: ALE ALE-RIPE ALE1234 AL345-RIPE ALE90-KOMMUNE But the following are NOT allowed: ALE-ADMIN-C AL023 ALESUND Regards, Anand ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2016 23:25:59 +0200 From: denis <ripedenis@yahoo.co.uk> To: Anand Buddhdev <anandb@ripe.net>, "'db-wg@ripe.net'" <db-wg@ripe.net> Subject: Re: [db-wg] Is it possible to choose your own NIC Handle when creating ROLE objects?

ALE ALE-RIPE ALE1234 AL345-RIPE ALE90-KOMMUNE

Almost :) But after the '-' you can only use a source name, like 'RIPE, 'APNIC', etc. so ALE90-KOMMUNE is not allowed cheers denis

But the following are NOT allowed:

ALE-ADMIN-C AL023 ALESUND
