[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is ready for the next stage of this clean-up process, as discussed at the last few RIPE Meetings. The RIPE Database still contains many forward DOMAIN objects, listed below. Only four TLD Registries are still actively using the RIPE Database for their whole provisioning or for a second-level dataset, .SM, .MC, .NO, .IL. These four Registries are working on alternative solutions and their data will remain in the RIPE Database until their arrangements are complete. Looking at the update logs for the last year, there has been very little activity on all the other DOMAIN data (summarised below). The occasional updates are End Users who maintain their own DOMAIN objects. Even though the activity logs show that these Registries were not actively using the RIPE Database, we still contacted them for confirmation. In some cases, we received no response. The RIPE NCC will delete all the forward DOMAIN data (except for the four active users) in the week beginning Monday, 4 April 2011. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group List of registries with forward DOMAIN data in the RIPE Database 2 al 12 at 2 az 9 ba 2 by 2 cm 24 com 1 cx 1 dz 8 ee 2 es 56 fi 2 ga 668 gm 26 hu 8 ie 176 il 2 ir 1 jj 3 jo 1 ke 1 kg 1 kr 4 kz 1 lb 1 lc 1 lv 1 ly 1 ma 702 mc 1 mt 55 net 82 no 9 org 1 pk 99 pl 20 pt 4 ru 6 sa 2210 sm 33 tr 1 va Activity over last year 2010 1 Create Modify delete fo 34 29 12 il 0 2 0 sm 27 12 15 2010 2 Create Modify delete fo 26 21 41 md 0 2 0 pl 0 1 0 sm 18 44 12 2010 3 Create Modify delete TLD si 0 0 1 es 0 0 1 fo 34 48 24 ly 0 0 3 sm 24 23 15 2010 4 Create Modify delete fo 38 34 13 net 0 0 1 si 0 0 1 sm 26 9 13 2010 5 Create Modify delete TLD de 0 1 0 fo 32 27 13 gr 0 1 0 il 0 2 0 mc 0 1 0 org 0 1 0 sm 37 10 10 2010 6 Create Modify delete TLD dk 0 1 0 fo 3 10 2 mc 2 8 0 sm 9 5 12 2010 7 Create Modify delete TLD fo 0 1 0 fo 0 0 1 gr 0 2 0 mc 2 2 0 sm 18 8 16 2010 8 Create Modify delete TLD fo 0 3 0 fo 0 0 3109 sm 16 14 10 2010 9 Create Modify delete mc 2 0 0 sm 20 20 9 2010 10 Create Modify delete be 0 0 1 gr 0 1 0 mc 1 0 0 sm 25 16 119 2010 11 Create Modify delete be 0 0 30 bg 0 0 5 cz 0 0 3 de 0 0 1 fi 0 1 0 gl 0 0 22 gr 0 0 75 it 0 0 2 lv 0 0 62 md 0 0 15 ro 0 0 1 se 0 0 6 sm 29 15 11 tn 0 0 2 ug 0 0 1 uk 0 0 4 2010 12 Create Modify delete sm 11 272 7 2011 1 Create Modify delete mc 2 0 0 sm 22 9 23 2011 2 Create Modify delete TLD is 0 1 0 fi 0 2 0 sm 13 3 66
