I followed with some interest the debate in this list regarding ccTLD data being removed from the RIPE db for .de.
Then today I got a mail from the .IE domain registry, asking me to remove entries from the RIPE DB for some .ie domains I have. So far so good, except that the .ie domain registry does not have a functional whois database to which we can move this data. If I comply, the data will no longer be accessible from any whois databse.
I would assume that since the Irish Government Data Protection Act prvents .ie informatio n from being accessed, this is indeed a valid request. regards, mally mclane =>senior hostmaster =>for Energis Squared, Leeds, UK =>mally@energis-squared.com <> www.energis-squared.com =>t: +44(0)1132076624 <> m: +44(0)7787100695
