Dear Colleagues, As announced last week, RIPE NCC will perform an upgrade on the LIR Portal software and internal software on Wednesday, 29 August 2007. If your ORGANISATION object is updated as part of this process, and the object contains a "notify:" attribute, you will receive an e-mail alerting you to the update. To verify or update your contact details, please log in to LIR Portal from Thursday, 30 August 2007. The reason for the upgrade is to implement a standardised format for contact details in the RIPE NCC internal registry database. The ORGANISATION objects in the RIPE Database will then be synchronised to reflect the updated contact details in the registry database. You may be notified if the ORGANISATION object relating to your organisation has been updated as part of this process. To verify or update your addresses, please log in to LIR Portal from Thursday, 30 August 2007. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to <sw-bugs@ripe.net>. Regards, Trudy Prins Business Applications Manager, RIPE NCC
