country code in ORGANISATION object
Hi all During the questions after Ingrid's presentation about the meaning of country codes it was mentioned that both the ORGANISATION and INET(6)NUM objects had a "country:" attribute. The suggestion was that maybe the one in the ORGANISATION object could reflect a legal country and the resources could be user specific. I can't see any mention anywhere of a "country:" attribute in an ORGANISATION object. It might be useful if it had one especially for the current discussion in NCC Services about legal address. cheersdenis

Legal country? If you mean it that the ISO 3166 standard for country codes let me rmatk that this is, as most standards in the world, just a voluntary standard. One adheres to it or not. jaap

"legal country" in the sense of "this is the country where the legal address of the organization in question is" - while "country" in the inetnum object could be "the country where the (largest part of) the network is" or "where it should be found for geolocation purposes" or whatever people put in there...

Right. Thanks for pointing this out - I was sure it had one, but this turned out to be incorrect (and I neglected to send the correction to the list so far).

Which WG do we want to have this discussion in? Is this more DB-ish, or more AP-ish? Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.

Hi Gert The DB part is simply to add an attribute. The mechanics of that is pretty straight forward. The reason for adding it and it's strict definition and perhaps status as a 'fixed' attribute value are more address policy or services. cheersdenisco chair DB-WG From: Gert Doering <gert@space.net> To: denis walker <ripedenis@yahoo.co.uk> Cc: "address-policy-wg@ripe.net" <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> Sent: Sunday, 21 October 2018, 19:40 Subject: Re: [address-policy-wg] country code in ORGANISATION object Hi, On Wed, Oct 17, 2018 at 10:20:31PM +0000, denis walker via address-policy-wg wrote:

I don't think it fits in APWG. It doesn't change the allocation/assignment policy, only the bookkeeping. I think this policy proposal belongs in DBWG. Cheers, Sander
