Right. EU Directive will be also OK. Let's look if the RIPE Database rules comly with it. For example, Section II, "CRITERIA FOR MAKING DATA PROCESSING LEGITIMATE"
1. Member States shall provide that personal data may be processed only if: (a) the data subject has unambiguously given his consent; or
No. admin-c and tech-c are mandatory, without any personal consent
It is possible to provide useful contact information without providing personal information. A self referential role object like this could be used and filled with non-personal data that allows contact from third parties when necessary: % This is the RIPE Whois query server #2. % The objects are in RPSL format. % % Rights restricted by copyright. % See http://www.ripe.net/db/copyright.html role: Test Role Object address: Anywhere e-mail: example@example.com admin-c: TRO5-RIPE tech-c: TRO5-RIPE nic-hdl: TRO5-RIPE changed: example@example.com 20070615 source: RIPE A person object could also be used, I suppose, although it might be confusing to have a person object that shows a role's name. I think the important thing is to carefully select the data that is published. Regards, -- Leo Vegoda IANA Numbers Liaison
