We mostly use the same name for admin-c and tech-c at the moment. Sometimes using a customer name for admin-c. I think that admin-c should be optional. Perhaps if our customers want some point of contact. -----Original Message----- From: owner-lir-wg@ripe.net [mailto:owner-lir-wg@ripe.net]On Behalf Of Paula Caslav Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 1999 8:56 AM To: lir-wg@ripe.net Subject: admin-c in inetnum Hello all, It's good to see so much discussion. Just to clarify something, the admin-c can be a role object. This is something that was decided 1 or 2 RIPE meetings ago. The latest release of the database code supports this fully now. When you do a recursive look-up of an inetnum object you will now see any role objects that were referenced in the admin-c attribute (in the past you would only see role objects referenced in tech-c but not admin-c). I will wait until the end of the week for responses, and then try to summarize the views here and come up with a suggestion. Kind regards, Paula Caslav RIPE NCC
