[db-wg] PERSON objects in the RIPE Database

Hello,

I do agree somewhat at least, I do think it is reasonable that there 
would not have to be person objects since if the internet resource owner 
is a natural person, they will still have an organisation object.

This really made me consider it, and I can't really see a valid reason 
to require person objects to create a maintainer for example.

Kind regards,
Cynthia Revström
