So are you saying that you DO use the ORGANISATION object address to match resources held by different members at the same location? If so there are technical ways to offer that functionality within the database without exposing the full address of natural person members.
you're about to suggest hashing ... that doesn't provide what is needed because it is far too fragile to be useful given that WHOIS entries are not canonicalised and also contain minor errors you can find countless examples of typos, old addresses etc within the RIPE data. For a contemporary example check for inconsistent use of Kiev/Kyiv for resources held by exactly the same person/organistion. -- richard Richard Clayton Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
