If your "handle" is being used for IP registration our any IRR related function, it will be referenced from an already existing object in the RIPE Database and will therefore NOT be deleted. If your handle was only in use for domain (other that in-addr.arpa) registration purposes, then your contact information should be registered with the corresponding TLD administrator as it will be deleted from the RIPE Database. No new handles are being created in this process as only handles used for functions foreign to the RIPE Database will be deleted in the process later today. Hopes this clarifies the situation for you, if not, please contact me. Regards, Joao Damas RIPE NCC At 16:01 +0200 21/9/01, Andreas Wittkemper wrote:
Hi Joao,
Further to this deletion, and in order to avoid replication of the current situation after this deletion process, incoming messages containing person and role objects originating from domain name related activities will NOT be processed.
The RIPE NCC will contact any source of such messages in order to clear any possible misunderstandings.
Just for clarification. If a customer had a RIPE Handle which was needed for the domain adminc, we won't get a new handle which we'll use for a netassigment ? Considered that the old one would have been deleted by tomorrow latest.
regards,
Andreas Wittkemper
