[members-discuss] whois mntner

Dear Richard

There is an easy way to do this with Webupdates. Starting with the
"Modify or Delete an object" page on the url you mentioned,
https://apps.db.ripe.net/webupdates/search.html, enter your MNTNER
object name in the search box then select the "modify object in single
text area" option. When you click on "Search" you will see the full
object, including the "auth:" attributes, in a text area. You can copy
and paste this data and use any update method you choose.

Please note that this only has an impact on changes to the MNTNER object
itself, as requested by the community through the RIPE Database Working
Group (DB WG) to hide the MD5 hashes from public view. Changing any
other object type remains as it was. The change was discussed in detail
on the DB WG mailing list. If you have any suggestions on this
behaviour, you may wish to discuss them on that list.

Full details of how the new process works can be seen here:
