[db-wg] Updated proposal for clean-up of references by name

Dear Colleagues,

This message is to report that the operation on TEST
and RIPE Whois Databases is now concluded successfully.
During the operation on RIPE Database:

1928 inconsistent objects were encountered,
611 dummy person objects were created,
1287 dummy role objects were created,
289 non-existent NIC handles were fixed (corresponding
  dummy person objects created).

The operation on RIPE Database took around two hours,
without interruption on database updates or queries.

Best regards,

Engin Gunduz
