For discussion in Paris (RIPE-DB WG, agenda:2.2) Andreas Schachtner (afs@Germany.EU.net) proposes to introduce an optional field for any DB object where this information does make sense: *tl: <e-mail-address> *tech-l: <e-mail-address> This field is not supposed to replace the *tc or *ac fields! The *tech-l filed should point to a mail address or mailinglist to provide access to people with _technical_ knowledge for the object referenced. Advantages are seen with the addressing of trouble tickets, managing configuration changes, etc. Any comments? Wilfried.
