Hi Joao I agree. So lets focus first on a consensus for stage 1. Then we can start work on that while we continue discussions on the other stages and the impacts they will have on work flow of LIRs. regards Denis RIPE NCC Cc: Database WG , ncc-services-wg From: Joao Damas Subject: Re: [db-wg] Proposal - Maintaining person, role and domain objects Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:00:20 +0200 To: Denis Walker Stage 1 makes a lot of sense to me as it has little consequences to older data while it makes sure new information going into the DB has a better chance of being kept as originally posted by the object creator. The other stages do need a bit more discussion as they may in fact affect a lot of legacy data and have the potential to add a burden to LIR operations. I am in favour of those extra steps, just think that there is a need to repeat the warnings and announcements before and insist on people making an impact analysis on their operations.
