Hi Anand, Øystein,

here is the link to the documentation which describes the nic-hdl attribute:

https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/support/documentation/ripe-database-documentation/rpsl-object-types/4-3-descriptions-of-secondary-objects/4-3-6-description-of-the-person-object

The nic-hdl suffix can be an actual source, such as "RIPE", but any 2 letter "officially assigned" ISO3166 country code, or "EU" (exceptionally reserved) is also allowed.

Hope this helps.
