Hello. > The design of this feature was specified some time ago by Carol Orange and > Wilfried Woeber (please see http://www.ripe.net/meetings/ripe/ripe-27/pres/rout > e/referral/) and discussed in the RIPE db-wg mailing list (please see > http://www.ripe.net/mail-archives/db-wg/19970501-19970601/threads.html) Oh. Fine. Do I get it right that this was discussed and agreed on more than a year ago? Argh. This change breaks too many things, imnsho, and it seems again that if you are not able to make it to the RIPE meetings, you have lost. A special announce would have been most helpful (an explicit one, stating this). > As a side note I would like to stress that the RIPE Database is NOT the source > of authoritative data for domain objects (although we are happy to provide a > repository for TLD administrators). > This is UNLIKE the internic whose business is to sell names. Oh. Fine. whois.nic.de *cough* barely ever working... Weak argument. And If I wanted to know the data about the domain one level higher, I can do so myself, I don't need to get it told to me by whois, I want to know whether crab.de (bad example, it really exists) is in the DB already or not. > The RIPE NCC is therefore acting according to users directives that were > discussed and agreed on an open way. Hitchhiker's Guide, anyone? *sigh* This was a not-so-nice change, really. Consider this a statement of disagreement with the way the change took place. Ok, one more mailling list to follow... Time to sell. Regards, Alexander Koch -- SGH Internet Division, Alexander Koch, Systems Administration Hannover, Germany, Phone +49 511 909198 0, Fax +49 511 391307
