Solution Definition: Introduce a new reg-nr: attribute for RIPE NCC co-maintained organisation objects, containing verified company registration numbers issued by national authorities. The RIPE NCC already holds this information for ~99% of resource holders that are legal entities.
Publishing a unique and verifiable registration number will significantly improve the ability of RIPE Database users to accurately identify resource holders and cross-check them in national company registries.
This seems like a good idea.
Oh, and it would be good if support from this extra piece of data is also available via RDAP and not just whois. In general, users should get the same data back however they query the database. Thanks, Leo
