There may be options we could pursue to check the validity of the contact data in the objects in the RIPE Database. Where we have a direct relationship with the owners of these objects we could request that they update this information. But we do not have a mandate from the RIPE community to allocate any resources to this activity.
RIPE has a contract with IANA (the RIR MOU) which is where the mandate comes from. IANA, in turn, has a contract with the US Government to ensure the accuracy of the data. When contacting RIPE about this they just keep ignoring this issue just keep saying "mandate from RIPE community" over and over again. RIPE is manipulating the community by not providing complete information or addressing obvious issues. All they do is repeat stuff over and over again without addressing the substantive issues. Thank You
