Folks, +--- Start of included message from: Jaap Akkerhuis ----- | | Hi Niall, | | Let me make some remarks about this. We probably should this dicuss | in details this later at the meeting. | | This message from the RIPE-NCC Database Group shows that a | number of domain registries appear among the top-scoring | maintainers of inconsistent objects in the RIPE Database. | | Yeah, and we're the winner! And we could have done better :-). I'll | discuss the situation further on. | | Irrespective of the future of the TLD-WG, we need to identify | how best to address these concerns and, in particular, this | problem of inconsistent objects. | | Let me start to raise some questions. Citating (probably incorrectly) | Daniel Karrenberg, ``Ripe is in the IP-number business, not in the | naming business''. Given that, one wonders whether domein name | objects should be part of the Ripe database at all. Since Centr is | now in de name business, I wonder whether control of this part of | the database should not be adressed bij Centr. This has been brought to the attention of CENTR some time ago already. There are a few possibilities: + CENTR takes over this activity + RIPE NCC keeps on doing it, covered by an agreement with CENTR + forget about the whole thing It is one of the issues that CENTR should (and will) be discussing amongst themselves.
