Colleagues Just to be clear the "created:" attribute relates to an 'object' not to a 'resource'. So in this case the creation date has not been changed. This is a new object and the "created:" attribute reflects the date this object was created. The main issue with historical data in the RIPE Database is that no history is available for deleted objects. NWI-10, which is in the process of being implemented, will add a "country:" attribute to all ORGANISATION objects referenced by resource objects and will be maintained by the RIPE NCC. cheersdenis co-chair DB-WG On Tuesday, 22 September 2020, 13:57:01 CEST, Ronald F.

I guess that my answer would be "no". As a general matter, and barring any complications, such as are present in the case of 57.224.0.0/11, historical RIPE WHOIS records are and have been available, and I have even written my own little tool to fish them all out with respect to any given IPv4 CIDR... at least those that have not undergone a death & rebirth. In short, I am generally a satisfied customer already with respect to RIPE WHOIS historical records, and I am very glad that these are easily available. It is only in these rather rare and unusual circumstances, such as what pertains to the history of the 57.224.0.0/11 block, when the data I see is not quite what I was expecting. But I don't think it would be a worthwhile expenditure of NCC staff time to work on something just to insure that rfg is not occasionally flummoxed. If they have an excess of free time then I can quite certainly dream up a number of much more valuable pursuits for them, in particular, insuring that every number resource record in the data base has a corresponding org: and that every organisation: record has a country: The latter issue still causes me much difficulty on a regular basis.
