Reminder: Removal of selected sets of contact information from the RIPE Database
Dear all, (apologies for duplicates) This message is a reminder of the ongoing process of removal of unreferenced contact information from the RIPE Database. We have updated the web page http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/pub-services/db/orphaned.html with a more up to date list of maintainer objects relevant to this process. I would like to use the opportunity to clarify an apparently confusing aspect of previous notes: If your person/role object already has a mnt-by attribute that references a maintainer object not contained in the list provided in the above mentioned web page, there is no need to add a reference to RIPE-NCC-PN-NONE-MNT. This maintainer has been created by the RIPE NCC with the sole purpose of facilitating a mechanism for people without maintainer objects to tag their person/role objects to avoid deletion. If you already have a proper maintainer object, DO NOT include RIPE-NCC-PN-NONE-MNT as this would lower your protection level. Best regards, Joao Damas RIPE NCC

The page says: | 3.Due to the nature and the size of the data set involved, the RIPE NCC can | not publish a list of all the objects affected. and suggests to poll the status of the entries with a usual whois client. Due to the nature and size of the data set involved this requires a million queries to the RIPE database to avoid ambiguities with the very very likeley event of rapidly reassigned handles. I suggest to create a list of involved entries and pass it to the maintainer in question. -- i.A.
