Delay in processing updates

Dear Colleagues,

Due to an unprecedented series of major operational problems
over the last few days, there are now many updates waiting to 
be processed by the RIPE Database.  The waiting time for some 
updates has reached 24 hours.  We have worked to fix this problem 
and the situation is improving.  We expect the performance of the RIPE 
Database to be back to normal late tonight.  In the meantime, 
we would ask you to be patient.

If you have not yet received an acknowledgement to your updates,
there is no need to send them again.  All updates received by
auto-dbm at ripe.net have been queued.

We realise that is causing some inconvenience to you, but we would
appreciate your co-operation.

If you have any questions, please contact <ripe-dbm at ripe.net>.

Regards, 

Marek Bukowy
