Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC database team have found some syntactically incorrect "nserver:" attributes in domain objects in the RIPE database, which contain a trailing dot ('.') character (signifying a fully qualified name). The convention since 2012 has been to strip out this trailing dot in the "nserver:" attribute on update, but a cleanup of existing data was not done when the syntax changed. We now plan to remove this trailing dot from these "nserver:" attributes later today, affecting approximately 544 domain objects (out of approx. 814K total domain objects), in order to make them syntactically correct. We will notify all maintainers of affected objects regarding this change by email. This is informational only, and users do not need to take any action. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC
