Dear colleagues,

Policy proposal 2022-01, "Personal Data in the RIPE Database", is now in the Review Phase.

The goal of this proposal is to allow the publication of verified Personal Data in the RIPE Database only when they are justified by its purpose.

The proposal has been updated to version 3.0 after the last round of discussion.

This version differs from version 2.0 as follows:

- it is not explicitly proscribed to enter the name of a person in role objects

- the verification of fax numbers is not required

The RIPE NCC has prepared an impact analysis on this latest proposal version to support the community’s discussion.

You can find the proposal and impact analysis at:

And the draft documents at:

As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four-week Review Phase is to continue discussion of the proposal,

taking the impact analysis into consideration, and to review the full draft RIPE Policy Document.

At the end of the Review Phase, the Working Group (WG) Chairs will determine whether the WG has reached rough consensus.

It is therefore important to provide your opinion, even if it is simply a restatement of your input from the previous phase.

We encourage you to read the proposal, impact analysis and draft document and send any comments to <db-wg@ripe.net> before 4 November 2022.

Kind regards,

Angela Dall'Ara

Policy Officer

RIPE NCC
