Person and role objects contain information about people. Each object has a unique NIC handle (nic-hdl).

Maintainers protect objects in the RIPE Whois database. They contain the information needed to authorise creation, deletion or modification of these objects.

To create the first person and maintainer objects of an organisation, you can use https://apps.db.ripe.net/startup/ Link: https://apps.db.ripe.net/startup/

You can create additional person, role and maintainer objects using webupdates Link: /manage-ips-and-asns/db/webupdates/ .

The nic-hdl of the role or person object in the "admin-c:" field should reflect someone who is administratively responsible for the network.

The nic-hdl of the role or person object in the "tech-c:" field should reflect someone who has technical knowledge of the network.

The "status:" field must be ALLOCATED PA.

The "mnt-by:" field must be RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT. You will be able to update your allocation object using the Object Editors Link: https://lirportal.ripe.net .

The "mnt-lower:" field shows which maintainer authorises the creation of inetnum objects (i.e. assignments) within the allocation block.

The "mnt-routes:" field shows which maintainer authorises the creation of route objects for the allocation block.

The RIPE Whois database must contain all of the objects that you mention.

We will send an email to the email address in the "notify:" field every time the allocation object is updated.

The "changed:" field must be [email protected].
