[db-wg] NWI-10: Phase 1 Implemented

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that we have implemented Phase 1 of NWI-10: Definition of Country.

The following updates took place as part of the implementation:

1. ORGANISATION objects with "org-type:" 'LIR' have been updated to include a new "country:" attribute. The Country Code displayed in this attribute is the country in which the resource holder is legally based

2. The Country Code (CC) has also been updated in the Extended Delegated Statistics file when there was a mismatch between the file and the new attribute. These resources have now as "CC" the same Country Code that is visible in the respective ORGANISATION object

If you notice that your Country Code is incorrect, you can contact us. Please note that we might ask you for supporting documentation to justify the update. 

In the meantime, we are continuing to work towards Phase 2 of NWI-10 and will keep you updated about our progress.  

You can read more about our implementation plan and the different phases of NWI-10 on RIPE Labs:

If you have any questions about the implementation of NWI-10, please send an email to <support at ripe.net> or <policy-implementation at ripe.net>.

Happy Holidays and warm wishes for 2021!

Kind regards,

Stefania
