Dear Colleagues, We intend to make the status attribute of the inetnum object mandatory on Monday, 13th July next. This has been discussed and agreed previously. However, if you have software that is _unavoidably_ dependent on this attribute being optional, please contact us. The new version of the inetnum object will be: inetnum: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] netname: [mandatory] [single] [look-up key] descr: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] country: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] rev-srv: [optional] [multiple] [ ] status: [mandatory] [single] [ ] # mandatory !!! remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-lower: [optional] [multiple] [ ] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] If you have anymore questions, please contact <ripe-dbm@ripe.net>.
