Will RIPE NCC ever "Delete all relevant objects in the RIPE Database including aut-num/inetnum, domain and route objects"? Can I make a suggestion? RIPE NCC should make a site - broken down by country code of those resources that they are unable to contact. Just as you send out these notices, you can post a notice that country xx has 25 unknown resources and RIPE NCC asks the help of its members in trying to contact the resource holder. Giving this extra 3 month effort should then validate anything RIPE NCC would do to the resource after this period. Regards, Hank
Dear Colleagues,
The RIPE NCC has published the new procedural document ripe-511, "Implementation of RIPE Policy 'Contractual Requirements for Provider Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region' - Phase 3".
This document describes the RIPE NCC procedure when contacting End Users of independent Internet number resources who have not yet entered into a contractual relationship with sponsoring Local Internet Registry (LIR) or the RIPE NCC.
It also describes the possible consequences if End Users of independent Internet number resources fail to respond when approached by the RIPE NCC or are not compliant with the policies of the RIPE community.
The new document is available at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-511
