Dear colleagues,

RIPE policy proposal 2022-01, "Personal Data in the RIPE Database" is now available for discussion again.

The goal of this proposal is to allow the publication of verified Personal Data in the RIPE Database only when they are justified by its purpose.

This proposal has been updated following the last round of discussion and is now at version 2.0.
Some of the differences from version 1.0 include:
-    Publishing only country and region for natural persons
-    Making the current postal address publication optional for all
-    Allowing for the publication of different types of addresses in the future


You can find the full proposal at:

As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four week Discussion Phase
is to discuss the proposal and provide feedback to the proposer.

At the end of the Discussion Phase, the proposer, with the agreement of the WG Chairs, will decide how to proceed with the proposal.

The PDP document can be found at:

We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to
