[members-discuss] audit idea .... improve database quality

Hello,
to add to my previous idea, to add the subscribed e-Mail address to the footer,
I would suggest all LIRs, which obviously don’t know they are a LIR, and how to unsubscribe to be placed on the audit short list.
When I was in an RIPE audit, I was shocked about the basic level of the questions asked, but now I know why.

There must be hundreds of LIRs without any(more) personnel with a RIPE course. How can this LIRs deliver up to date WHOIS information, including abuse/cert/irt contact?

This is no witch hunt, I can recommend to any LIR personell to take a RIPE NCC training course. This can explain the inner working of the RIPE NCC, the voting process, the database, and exactly why we have this mailing list. 

Additionally I assume none of this LIRs has any IPv6 plans. They might not even know there is a need for change. As their allocation is working for them (like internal LIRs in large cooperations).

all the best
Matthias
