I won't be at RIPE-35 as my first child is due at the same time but I'll definitely knock something together as a draft. If other people are interested then things should go ahead at RIPE-35 otherwise I do have permission from my wife to attend RIPE-36 ;-) Kind regards Matthew -----Original Message----- From: Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet [mailto:woeber@cc.univie.ac.at] Sent: 20 January 2000 14:55 To: matthew@planet.net.uk Cc: lir-wg@ripe.net; db-wg@ripe.net; woeber@cc.univie.ac.at Subject: RE: DB consistancy checking tools Matthew, I think this is an interesting proposal:
I have been wondering recently whether a separate group should be set up for the sole purpose of creating tools/advise/methods/hints 'n' tips for LIR's to keep on top of their entries and make management easier. A sort of RIPE users working group not concerned with designing objects for the database but how to put existing objects in it, remove them, manage them, etc.

To start things moving, could you come up with a coarse draft of ideas and short-term goals to take up? On the more formal side, one of the possible solutions to accomodate that activity might be to create a TaskForce to work on well-defined items during RIPE35 (do you intend to particpate?). This TF might be supported by both LIR and DB, or sponsored by whichever group is seen to be appropriate... Wilfried.
