Authorisation and Notification of Changes

    Example 2: Local Registries
    
    Some European local registries keep their own copies of  the
    database  containing  the  objects  within their area.

Reality is slightly different from "keeping own copies
of the database":
European local registries maintain their own database of
registrations within their area. Selected fields of this
database are sent on an ad-hoc or regular basis to RIPE
to be included in the RIPE whois database. The selected
fields may be subject to further processing before being
sent to RIPE.
