The "who" is probably the enduser. This is often a customer of an ISP.
They will not have an organisation object. If we drop person objects,
the full picture is split over many databases. An LEA has to go to the
RIPE Database with a list of IP addresses. Find the organisations, then
go to the individual organisations to find the "who" from their customer
databases.

It is better to keep this full picture in the RIPE Database. But maybe
it does not all need to be publicly visible.
