Maintenance of the database documenting who's been allocated/assigned space is *core* to RIPE's mission.
simply wrong. ripe's core is allocation. that's what they do. your mission is your private error.

Specifically the development and maintenance of the RIPE DB. Once all of v4 space is allocated (soon now, soon), the primary job of the NCC and the other four RIRs will be keeping a good registry. I do speak for the NCC, but a substantial amount of the narrative recently has been around keeping that registry up to date and, indeed, attempting to find new and interesting ways of making sure the members put the right data in the right place.
As has been correctly pointed out, I managed to leave out a negative above. I do *not* speak for the NCC. Sorry for any confusion that may have caused. Brian.
