Dear colleagues, Cynthia made a suggestion in January (see below) and there were two replies in support, but it was not progressed. If I may summarise the thread: (1) Make "phone:" optional in person objects AND (2) Make either "phone:" or "e-mail:" mandatory in person and role objects AND (From Peter's reply) (3) Make "address:" optional in person and role objects According to the NWI process, can this suggestion be turned into an NWI? https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/numbered-work-items/ Link to January thread: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2024-January/thread.html There was also a previous discussion in May 2022 which is relevant (titled "phone number required for person objects"): https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2022-May/thread.html Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC

Hi,
In the DB-WG interim session I mentioned that there's currently a discrepancy between person objects and role objects with regards to contact information. More specifically, person objects currently require a phone number while role objects require an email address.
I think we should try to bring person objects more in line with role objects by removing the phone number requirement. Ideally I would want it to be mandatory to have either a phone number or an email address in order to not lose any flexibility but I'm not sure if that is possible.
During the session I asked if anyone was opposed to the idea and no one said they were so I would assume that this is relatively uncontroversial but please let me know what you think.
-Cynthia
