1st draft: proposed agenda - DB-WG at RIPE 23, Amsterdam

Before too much work occurs here (and has to be financed), I would
like to see a report on if there actually is continued interest in
supporting a common database infrastructure in the first place.
And if yes, what has to be done to satisfy the requirements of the
organisations that have stopped using the Ripe database.

Background: SWITCH has stopped updating the Ripe database with
domains and various other NICs have obviously indicated that will
not be doing this anymore either. I do not wish to speculate on
the motives, however it -is- clear that this undesirable for the
community as a whole. The question is: can this be fixed and what
has to be done to accomadte whatever special features these
registries need?
