Hi Cynthia

The country attribute in the INET(6)NUM objects is totally meaningless. The resource holder can set it to anything they want. Maybe it is the country their grandmother was born in. It is that useful. NWI-10, which was agreed at RIPE 79, will create a country attribute in the ORGANISATION object that reflects the country shown in the extended stats. This will be referenced by all resource objects including the AUT-NUM. It will be managed by the RIPE NCC and will always reflect the value in the extended stats file.

cheers

I don't quite get what you mean, but I would like a country attribute in the RIPE DB that is equivalent to the value in the delegated file such as the following entry for my ASN.
