Dear all, Following on from the Data Protection Task Force (DP TF) meeting during RIPE 56 in Berlin, we have finalised the documents for the RIPE Database. There were several outstanding issues which have been discussed by the RIPE NCC Senior Management: - Definition of "RIPE Community". We aligned this with the published definition on our website. - "Article 6.1 - The RIPE NCC does not guarantee the accuracy, or completeness or availability of the RIPE Database or of the data contained therein" This article will remain as it is. This is a legal document aimed at providing legal protection for the RIPE NCC. In legal language, this is the best option to describe our responsibility. From a practical point of view, this does not exclude our intention to provide an excellent service and aim to achieve 100% availability. - "Article 10 Copyright." The comments from the DP TF on the copyright statement were valid and useful and we have taken it upon ourselves to rewrite the copyright statements as a separate activity. Furthermore, we had some final iterations to improve the wording of the documents. We propose to publish the documents as they now stand. Please let us know if you have any final considerations/issues. Bear in mind that with any documents such as these, the wording can always be changed. However, we would prefer not to make any subjective changes at this stage but only amend anything that is inaccurate. We would appreciate any final comments within the next two weeks. Regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group
