Colleagues Over the last few years several community members have asked for the arbitrary restriction on deleted objects in historical queries of operational data to be removed. The DB-WG co-chairs recently recommended that the RIPE NCC goes ahead with producing an impact/implementation report, including a new legal review. Since then we have had one objection based on privacy of data. I believe I have addressed that issue in some detail. The co-chairs recommend that the RIPE NCC goes ahead with publishing a new impact/implementation report o this issue. cheers denis co-chair DB-WG
