Dear Colleagues, We will carry out planned maintenance on the Whois server on Monday 19 December from 18:00 to 20:00 CET. During this time, updates to the whois database will not be possible. Updates sent via e-mail will be queued and then processed normally when service returns. Updates via webupdates or syncupdates will fail, and must be re-tried when service returns to normal. During the maintenance we will run hardware diagnostics on the server. We apologise for inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions, please e-mail: ripe-dbm@ripe.net. Regards, Shane Kerr RIPE NCC
