The "org:" attribute now provides a consistent way to find the organisation for all resources in the RIPE Database. The RIPE NCC is planning to stop enforcing the organisation name in the "descr:" attribute for those resources allocated or assigned by it.
Finally the 'descr:' is set free again to what it originally meant: a free form textual description :-)
Please let us know if you have any comments.
When will this change go into effect?
We were thinking of mid April, for two reasons: 1) This gives the working group enough time to comment. 2) While the RIPE NCC has finished the effort to ensure that the org-id (and name) are set up correctly for all INETNUM and INET6NUM objects, we are still finalising this work for AUT-NUM objects. We expect that we will finish this effort in about 6 weeks. For consistency it would be easiest to change this for all resource types simultaneously. Kind regards, Tim
