Dear Tim I was not aware the *RIPE NCC Access account system* was a separate system apart from the *RIPE Database system*. In retrospect supporting changing emails may not have been a good idea to > begin with I think this was a great idea, as account emails can change as people shift employers and/or email providers shuts down. One is not forced to create a new RIPE NCC Access account everytime the email address changes. Handling the changing email process is rightly so another matter for another discussion.
