[db-wg] Proposal to limit the use of the RIPE-NCC-RPSL-MNT on mnt-by

Dear working group,

After discussing this with the working group chairs it was decided that we should implement the following:
= RIPE NCC should send a warning email to contacts we can find for objects that use the RIPE-NCC-RPSL-MNT
= RIPE NCC will implement a business rule to prevent the future use of RIPE-NCC-RPSL-MNT on mnt-by
= RIPE NCC will remove RIPE-NCC-RPSL-MNT from objects, locking them if no other maintainers are present

We plan to deploy release 1.86 for this to the Release Candidate environment on Wednesday 2 March.
We aim to send warning emails on Monday 7 March.
Provided no issues are found we plan to deploy the business rule to production, and remove the RIPE-NCC-RPSL-MNT from mnt-by on objects on Monday 21 March.

We will inform the working group again when we do each step.

Kind regards,

Tim Bruijnzeels

Assistant Manager Software Engineering
RIPE NCC Database Group
