Asking 2 questions for the DB-WG community:
(1) Is it still a requirement of the RIPE Database to provide historical information of resource holders?
I believe historical information is essential for ensuring the uniqueness of Internet number resource usage and facilitating coordination between network operators, e.g. identifying squatting on number resources, cleaning up IP reputation on previously allocated resources. Currently it is not possible to tell if a resource was allocated at a given point of time before the last deletion.
(2) Clearly define what is the requirement and what is in scope
ideally consistent with other RIRs, example whowas https://www.apnic.net/static/whowas-ui/#AS131474 * full history on allocation related updates (previous holders of the resource at any point of time) * resource objects and organisation objects associated with the resource * mntner / person objects could be helpful to identify malicious updates, but less important Yang
