Dear colleagues, We just closed the Database usage survey and collected 206 responses. Please find the survey results attached to this email. Thank you all for your input! Along with other sources of data, this feedback is really valuable to the current DBTF work. We plan to collate the open questions results and send them to the mailing list as soon as possible. Best, Boris Duval RIPE NCC

Dear all, Here's the meeting notes from our last call. *RIPE Requirements Database Task Force Meeting Notes* 12 April 2021 Meeting Attendees: Boris Duval, Nick Hilliard, James Kennedy, Shane Kerr, Peter Koch, Bijal Sanghani, Ed Shryane, Maria Stafyla Agenda: 1. Document writing a) Document overview The task force reviewed the current document and decided to focus on working on the requirements section and create a new section dedicated to data management principles. b) Appointing topic owners The task force appointed topic owners for each of the current open topics in the requirements sections as well as for the new data management principles sections. c) Scheduling editing meetings The task force decided to schedule individual meetings for each topic to work on the content. Boris will send a Doodle to the task force and book meeting slots for those meetings. d) Timeline The task force still aims to publish a final document before RIPE 82. 2. Collecting feedback on open issues a) BoF (date, announcement, agenda) The task force agreed to schedule the BoF on Wednesday, 5 May 2021 from 16:00-17:30. The meeting should only last one hour but the extra 30 minute buffer can be handy if there is a lot of feedback. b) Emails to WGs In order to have sufficient feedback on open topics (legal address, personal data in historical queries, and PERSON objects) before the BoF, the task force drafted a series of emails that they will send to the DB-WG mailing list. As these topics also concern other working groups, Bijal proposed to inform the chairs of the other working groups that these discussions will take place in the DB-WG mailing list. 3. Next Meetings The next meetings will be scheduled in April and will focus on editing specific topics in the requirements document.

Notes from 26 March 2021 Meeting

Dear all, Here's the meeting notes from our last call. *RIPE Requirements Database Task Force Meeting Notes* 26 March 2021 Meeting Attendees: Boris Duval, Nick Hilliard, James Kennedy, Shane Kerr, Peter Koch, Bijal Sanghani, Maria Stafyla Agenda: 1. DBTF questionnaire review and next steps Maintaining an authoritative and accurate registry of Internet number resources C) Resources Registration Requirements The task force agreed on the following recommendation: “As resource holders have full responsibility over their allocation(s), they are free to make assignments or not. However, if a resource holder wants to sub-assign part of their resources to another entity, the task force strongly recommends to document this change in the RIPE Database. Parallel to that, making assignments should not be a prerequisite to get new Internet number resources.” Peter and Nick pointed out that it will be good to add data minimisation as part of the general data management principles in the draft. D) Historical Information The DBTF will wait for the BoF before taking a decision on how to deal with historical information. The main issue revolves around personal data being stored in historical information. Ed will check if it is technically possible to apply more filtering in order to minimise the risk of having returned personal data in historical queries. Facilitating Internet operations and coordination A) PERSON Objects The task force considered to keep PERSON objects but make it harder to create them by adding a disclaimer about personal data. This will help decrease the amount of unmaintained personal data. The task force will come up with a recommendation on this topic and will bring it for discussion at the BoF. 2. Document Structure Nick proposed to have two documents instead of one. One document with general principles (similar to the current draft) and one document with all recommendations and suggestions from the task force. The task force liked the idea and will discuss it further. 3. BoF Planning After reviewing the original timeline, the task force decided to organise a BoF early May. 4. Next meeting The next meeting will take place in April.
