Introduce a new reg-nr: attribute for RIPE NCC co-maintained organisation objects, containing verified company registration numbers issued by national authorities. Will this have some kind of scope to a country/registry? If I see a number, how do I know where to look it up? It might even be ambiguous without scope, as the same number might be used in different company registries. I don't know if all countries have a single registry. For countries with multiple regional company registries, such as Germany or the USA, we would specify which registry contains the legal entity’s record. For countries with a single national registry, the existing attribute with country code of legal registration together with the new company registration number attribute should be sufficient to identify the resource holder. Only publicly available registration numbers of legal entities will be published. Natural persons remain explicitly out of scope. So for sole proprietorships where, at least in NL, the person is the company, no new numbers will be published, right? Yes, that is correct. In the case of sole proprietorships no registration number will be published. The new attribute will apply only to legal entities.

I hope this clarifies. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt RIPE NCC
