Colleagues The chairs propose creating NWI-14 for expanding the optional use of the "mnt-ref:" attribute to protect objects from accidental or intentional mis-representation of responsibility. See slide 14 of this presentation for the problem definition: https://ripe78.ripe.net/presentations/129-RIPE78-Operational-Update.pdf We ask the RIPE NCC to add NWI-14 to the list. cheers denis co-chair DB-WG
Dear Colleagues, Following is an update for NWI-14, to protect references to objects in the RIPE database. Problem Definition ------------------ Ref. https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2022-March/007320.html Solution Definition ------------------- To protect references to person, role, mntner, irt objects, I propose adding an optional, multiple, "mnt-ref:" attribute to those object types. This attribute will work the same for these object types as on the existing organisation type. Impact Analysis --------------- Low impact on Whois. The "mnt-ref:" attribute already exists on the organisation object as a mandatory attribute. Usage of this attribute will be the same for the new object types. The main impact to adding this attribute is that Whois updates referencing one of these objects may require authorisation from *multiple* maintainers (i.e. the object maintainer and the reference maintainer, if they are different). This is the same as for the organisation object, however most references to an organisation use the same maintainer. If multiple maintainers are necessary, each can be added as a separate "mnt-ref:" attribute on the referenced object. This attribute is optional. If any adverse impact is observed, the attribute can be removed again from the referenced object. Please reply with any feedback. If there are no objections, the DB team will implement this change in the next Whois release. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC

Hi Ed, I still support this solution just as I was back in March 2022 and I would like to see it implemented. -Cynthia On Thu, May 11, 2023 at 2:38 PM Edward Shryane via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net> wrote:

Dear colleagues, NWI-14 was implemented in Whois 1.107 which was deployed to production today. Accordingly I've marked NWI-14 as finished on the Numbered Work Items page: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/numbered-work-items Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC
