I think you should move the domains over to DENIC but still keep them on the RIPE server untill everything is up and running fine.

According to the agreement between RIPE NCC and DENIC we plan

Has this agreement been published?

to delete German (.de) domain objects from RIPE whois database on June 28th. From then on, information about German domains will be available from DENIC's whois server, whois.nic.de.

While speed and efficiency are to be commended, this is rather short notice, isn't it? From the mail on 8th June, I understood that DENIC would need between one and two months after moving the domain objects before the associated person objects could be moved. Regards. Mike
