New on RIPE Labs: Cleaning Up Locked Person Objects in the RIPE Database
by Mirjam Kuehne 30 Apr '20

30 Apr '20

Dear colleagues, Unmaintained person objects in the RIPE Database were locked by the RIPE NCC so they could not be used to hijack resources. Now we plan to set the correct user maintainer on those person objects. Please find more details in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/ed_shryane/cleaning-up-locked-person-objects-… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

RIPE NCC Executive Board election
by Ronald F. Guilmette 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

Greetings all, I know that all is not right with the world right now, and that most of you, like me, have much more pressing things on your minds right now, but someone just sent me the following link and I cannot exactly ignore it: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2020/confirmed-ca… I would like to call everyone's attention to the last of the three candidates who have, it seems, "qualified" as candidates for open seats of the RIPE NCC Executive Board. As I have already said, I know that things are bad in the world right now, but I must ask this question: Is there really no one other than these three candidates who is willing and/or able to stand for the three open seats on the RIPE NCC Executive board... three open seats that will be voted on at the next general meeting, 13-15 May 2020 ? If not, then it seems that RIPE NCC will soon be following in the new tradition, established first by AFRINIC only last year, of placing well and widely known crooks on it board. I desperately hope it won't come to that, but that is not for me to decide. The decision is in your hands dear friends. Regards, rfg

poetic-form mnt-by/creation
by Cynthia Revström 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Hello DB-WG, I would just like to make the working group aware of the fact that currently anyone can create a new poetic-form and it doesn't require the LIM-MNT to be used. I am not sure if this is intended or not, but I thought it was worth posting about if anyone has input on it. Considering the poem objects require the LIM-MNT as mnt-by I don't think this was really the intended situation. - Cynthia
