Ref: ripe-384 Title: ENUM Request Form Author: RIPE NCC Date: 15 August 2006 Format: PDF=98364 TXT=1255 Obsoletes: ripe-327 Ref: ripe-385 Title: Supporting Notes for the ENUM Request Form Author: RIPE NCC Date: 15 August 2006 Format: PDF=87011 TXT=5672 Obsoletes: ripe-327 Short content description ------------------------- The "ENUM Request Form" and "Supporting Notes for the ENUM Request Form" documents replace ripe-327: "Draft Request Form for Delegation of a Zone Under e164.arpa". The new documents feature: * improved language and readability, * better examples and a step-by-step guide * the use of the "organisation" object for this type of request Accessing the RIPE document store --------------------------------- You can access the RIPE documents in HTML format via our website at the following URLs: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/enum-request.html http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/enumrequest-support.html The RIPE Document Store is also available via anonymous FTP to ftp.ripe.net, in the directory ripe/docs.

The proposal can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2006/msg00087.html The first stage of this implementation as described in the proposal is now complete. The main objectives were to: - Increase the availability of the IRT information to users - Promote the use of the IRT object - Make it easier for third party tool writers to find the correct contacts New Behaviour ------------------------ The behaviour of the "-c" flag and the "-rc" flag is as follows: A standard query for address space including the "-c" query flag returns the queried INETNUM and related objects. This also includes an IRT object referenced by the queried INETNUM object or the closest, less specific INETNUM object, if one exists. It will also still include any ROUTE objects. By using the "-rc" flags, the related personal objects are filtered out. The IRT object will still be returned together with any ROUTE objects. An additional consequence of this change is the way the "-b" flag works. The "-b" flag will always return the primary key of any address space object queried. It also returns the "abuse-mailbox:" attributes from the address space object and any related IRT objects. The RIPE Database Query webpage has also been updated: http://www.ripe.net/fcgi-bin/whois For all address space queries made via this webpage, the "-c" flag will be added, making it the default. This only occurs if no other address space query flags (lLmMxbc) are present. A link has also been added to enable users to switch between the test and production databases. This makes it easier to query the RIPE Test Database.

Keeps the industry all dynamic. :-) One can not have noticed the trend (as also mentioned in past RIPE meeting presentations) that there is a cyclic nature in staff recruitment and churn over every 4-5 year period.. and it may be that this is now happening. Not only at NCC but also at other registries.

Not only at NCC but also at other registries. I also agree with you. The thing I found odd was a whole host of maneger posts all at once. As Mister Pawlik has said there are some changes planned. I hope this doesn't mean splitting up the team there and employing more chiefs than indians. I'd hate to see a facsimilie of the failed plans to restructure the British NHS! I look forward to the ripe 53 meeting to find out more. Regards Denesh Jeremy --------------------------------- The all-new Yahoo!
