Denis,
think, we have to build.
I am not quite sure what you mean here. I 'think' you are saying you want some means of recording that you have permission to publish data in the RIPE Database that you do not own and indicating who has the responsibility for this data. Is that correct?
No, the answer is to interface us only with members. They have a contract with us ans they must get the responsability to give us permission to publish personal data.
That is not going to work with the current database and business models. Also maintaining all data will not restrict data to members only. At the moment anyone can put data into the database. A student with nothing to do one afternoon can create person/mntner objects and enter all their friends details without permission. We have no contract with such a student. In that case a clause in the database T&C requiring consent would cover it. We also have lots of PI space holders who have no contract with the RIPE NCC and therefore can only be held to account by database T&C. There are also people in other regions who create aut-num and route objects with person/mntner objects in our database. We can't easily cover all of these people with a contract. A change to the standard contract may cover a large proportion of the database users. But the only way to cover them all is with the database T&C. cheers denis
Very good point. I think the best approach is to have the
responsibilty
reside with the maintainer. It would be good to have this in the
service
contract (i.e. the service contract should say that by putting a
person
object in the RIPE database, you acknowledge that you did get the approval of the person to publish his/her data). This is what we have in the
.hu
registration rules.
Don't forget that not everyone who enters data into the RIPE Database is a member. So this statement may be better in the Database Terms and Conditions.
Yes, but if we'll have all object maintained it seems that only members will do.
cheers Manfredo
