Well, in short I misjudged the effort needed for this, and since then I presented an update on this at the RIPE meeting, see slide 4 here: https://ripe70.ripe.net/wp-content/uploads/presentations/164-ripe70-db-wg-ne...
We are *nearly* done. We have a bit over 100 aut-num objects to work on (as compared to 2000 in May).
When this is fully done, we can present an implementation plan for this soon, within a few weeks. Before we do so, I would like to ask the working group for direction on the following. Because sadly, stopping enforcing this is not as trivial as it might seem.
Option a: Leave existing cases, "descr:" mandatory, update request forms ========================================================================
Option A sounds simplest to me, I am confident people will continue to update the "descr:" to align it with reality in a meaningful way. Kind regards, Job
