[ncc-services-wg] GRS updates for the RIPE Database

[Apologies for duplicate emails]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that we've deployed a revamped Global Resource Service (GRS) in the RIPE Database today, 21 
March 2011.

Please take note of the following changes:

- All foreign (non-RIPE) sources have '-GRS' added to their name. Old names without '-GRS' will work for one year for 
backwards compatibility. You are kindly asked to adjust your environment as necessary within that time-frame.

- A short-hand format has been added to the '-s GRS' to make it easier to select all GRS sources.

- Queries against GRS sources don't filter returned data, nor is any accounting in place.

- 'RIPE-GRS' has been added as a GRS version of our own database and includes the changes noted above.

For more information on GRS, see:
