GDPR and the RIPE Database
by Edward Shryane 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Dear Working Group, as mentioned in last week's DB-WG meeting, we will shortly be implementing the following changes: - Do not include personal data in historical queries (notify, e-mail, address attributes). - Do not include person/role references in historical queries (admin-c, tech-c, ping-hdl, zone-c). A legal review found we should not return historical contact details, as they may contain personal data, which is not in line with the purpose of the RIPE database or data protection legislation. For background, Maria Stafyla from RIPE NCC Legal presented on this topic at RIPE 76: https://ripe76.ripe.net/presentations/101-GDPR-Database-WG-RIPE-76.pdf Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC

Whois Release 1.95
by Edward Shryane 18 Sep '19

18 Sep '19

Dear Working Group, RIPE Database release 1.95 has been deployed to the Release Candidate environment. If no issues are found, we plan to deploy to production on Monday, 9th September. This release contains two main changes: - Whois queries are now normalised to the latin-1 character set, in the same way as for Whois updates (any non-latin-1 input is normalised into latin-1, or substituted with a question mark). If any normalisation is performed, an extra comment is added to the response to inform the user. - Attributes which can contain personal data (address, e-mail and notify) are filtered out from historical object versions (i.e. when using the --show-version and --diff-versions flags). For a full list of changes, refer to the release notes: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/release-notes/ripe-database-rel… More information on the Release Candidate environment can be found on our website: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/release-notes/rc-release-candid… Please let us know if you find any issues with this release in the RC environment. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC
